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?


You did some good looking repairs! Was the plastic that warped? Or was it a fit problem with the interior? What do you think caused that gap?

I am sure it was a warping issue since the plastic isn’t that thick. Also the fuselage being that long doesn’t help. That’s why I glued it in sections with extra-thin cement.

Yeah long seams like that make any warps or fit problems so much worse.

I am now stuck with masking the clear parts.

That means its time for finishing! Masking canopies is not a fun chore, but I always think of it as the beginning of the finishing process.

A long road ahead…I have to use the airbrush outside.

Maybe a fit problem but I can’t go back in time…

That is exactly how I fix gaps now. Far easier to manage some styrene than any other filler. Well done. I have this kit and I’m taking mental notes!

Take some mental notes… that’s the reason behind my build. Plane Dave will also build one later. I wish I could turn back time.
