I guess the next step would be masking all the windows and start using my airbrush.

There isn’t many more parts to add now since most parts left are easily broken. However I am not in the mood to start using my airbrush right now.

Inspecting the bottom fuselage I got an idea from the Inch High Guy.

Why not use polystyrene plastic sheets I bought in the 70s…

Since mine were too thick I scraped off the excess plastic and then filled the gaps using extra-thin cement.

I cut off the excess and sanded it smooth.

Now there is nothing more to do except masking the windows and later to start spraying a base coat isn’t?
