The following tools are required to build the RB7:
Phillips size 00, 0, 1 & 2 Screwdrivers. (Be aware that the tip sizes can vary).
Small flat-bladed screwdiver to assemble the carburettor.
Modelling knife.
Needle nose pliers.
Side cutters.
Scissors.
Metal ruler.
Bodyshell reamer and Lexan shears
You will receive three allen key (hex) wrenches during the series (1.5mm, 2.0mm & 2.5mm)
A cross wrench is provided within Issue 4.
Take great care to identify the correct Screw type and length required for each stage.

Hi Mr. T I was reading your RB7 build diary and I noticed that you were using some kind of pliers, is this for model car use only or is it the general pliers that you can buy from any hardware store? Sorry, I know it's too early to ask this question..

Hello All,
I've built plenty of models over the years but this will be my first RC. Being a long time RBR fan I just couldn't let this opportunity pass.
I may be stating the obvious, but I quickly found that you’ll definitely need a good pair of Tweezers designed for handling small components. It also wouldn't hurt to have a second set with angled tips.
It would be quite easy to make a mess of the front wing during the steps in the third issue whilst gluing on the small components. Unfortunately because the model is pre-painted it isn't that easy to fix an error.
Also, as previously stated a '00' Phillips screwdriver is a good idea. A '0' size driver may work on a '00' size screw if your careful but considering that some of the steps require screws to be removed and replaced I didn't feel it was worth the risk of stripping a screw head when your only supplied with what is required.
I look forward to hearing others suggestions on tools as I prefer to be prepared. I’m not quite sure how patient I can be once my issues arrive and I don’t have the right tools.
Chris

Without grip dimensions, its impossible to determine if the grip of these pliers may possibly be too large for the diameter of shock shaft used.

Can anyone recommend a glue to use that does not cloud or cause any issues :)

hi druski, if that was possible you would not even been asking that question, what I mean is, we would all be slapping on the glue piecemeal and not have any worries, but in the real world some glues are slightly better then others,and ALL have to be carefully applied, i may have stirred up a hornets nest, just go with what is recommended by the members who are doing this build,and please be very careful when using any of the cynide superglues. and good luck with your build. k. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

I tried using some Revell Contacta Professional glue which is for plastics and usually works, but on the rear wing, not a single bit of grip that I normally get, so in the end I used some superglue, (CA) and very carefully lined the parts up before pushing them together. Hope this helps.
So far thats the only bit of gluing I have done on my RB7, but i have used it on the DB5 with no clouding happening. The superglue I used is the control bottle from woolies. Seems to work fine for me, also use it on the wooden ships I build. Only thing, it dosen't last too long.
