Hi, I am after advice from you professional modelers out there.

I love building the Routemaster, as I have been a massive fan of the bus ever since I was a kid.

But I have large hands, more suitable for working on the 1:1 Actual Bus! I have broken off a few things during the build. But the worst has to be the tabs used to secure the roof frame to the upper deck body sides (pictured). I have glued them back on. But will they be strong enough to support the roof weight and the metal body sides? I don't want a Routemaster with sagging bodywork, so should I order new body sides to be safe?

Thanks, Mark.

i wouldn't worry too much as there is a solid metal frame skeleton that fits to bodywork and roof that's then secured together that will hold everything secure .. i have sausage fingers too but just got to take things slowly
