1/48 Monogram F-15
The fit on this kit is HORRIBLE. And sanding and filling is not a skill Ive mastered. I gave up trying to make the hole where the nose assembly fits the fuselage look good and settled for it simply being filled. Constructive critisism always welcome.
Looks like you did a good job with the gap on the nose cone to fuselage connection, but that blob on the underside looks like a veritable nightmare. Nice paint job.
That looks great. Those gaps, yikes!! Well done.

I wish I had taken a pic of the blob before I filled it... it wasnt a gap it was a hole. Im suprised I was able to close it. But like I said sanding and filling is not really a skill in my tool box.
Look JenAy... I got new legs! you know... Ive built this kit atleast three times in the past. I dont ever remember it being a tail sitter. But right shes got two lead fishing weights sitting on the avionics bay and its barely enough to keep the nose down... maybe when I get the ordnance, drop tank and other small bits attached itll balance out

I've taken to masking either side of seams on kits like this, applying Squadron Putty, then after about 10-15 minutes, dunking a Q-tip in acetone and wiping the seam smooth. Saves a lot of headache and detail.
