Cracks in the plastic

Like Don suggested...I'd dab some thin cement (I use Tamiya extra thin) over the cracks. Allow some dry time and sand it smooth.

Did you say that you caused it? Is that not it's own answer or am I not understanding the question?

Depends on how wide/deep the cracks are.  I usually use some solvent cement to repair those areas, though sometimes I can get the thin CA to wick into the cracks. If there is a stress point there, then, like in the above message I try to see if I can glue on some structural support if I can do so without changing visual appearance.

There are a few kit companies that make some pretty fragile kits.  I know who these folks are, and try to use extra caution when building their kits.

 

Hi ;

 Are you in the process of a build ? If so then do this . I had the same problem . I solved it by taking a strip of .020 plastic , cutting it to shape and gluing it under that strip between the windshield and the hood opening .

    You can sand a taper on the windshield side and the window will still fit right .

Cant say I have had cracks appear in the model itself. My old Revell 1/32 P38 Ligthning has cracks in it, but that is cracks in the putty, not the plastic. All the rubber tyres on my 1/24 fighters have started to crack as well...
