Boy, I wasn't prepared for the huge gap between the fuselage and the wings when I attached them last night. Whats the deal with the mold? Figured they would have corrected it by now. Other than that, it is an easy build so far, certainly not a fit like a Tamiya but good. Detail in the cockpit was nice, again though, can't see much of it. That is a hoot, spend all the time detailing the cockpit and you really never see it. That is a pet peeve of mine.
Anyway, will prime with silver tonight. What did work nice was the technique I picked up here on the board a while back. I masked both sides of the gap, to a couple of mm, filled it with squadron putty and let it dry overnight. I took the masking off this morning and the only sanding I had was over the gap, the adjacent plastic was clean which I normally hate having to sand it to get it smooth. Nice technique. Look forward to finishing this so I can get back to the Hornet I was working on. Took a break from the tediousness of that Trumpeter kit, wanted a build I could finish in short order. I have the dubious task of painting all of those bombers for the Doolittle raid. Hope all had a great holiday!
