Unfortunately I did not deal with the little holes at all, very well, as it was a quik build. Since this image I have actually painted those inset areas flat black so that unless you look up close, you can't see a seam. Worked for me! As for the bottom of the gun, just lots of putty, Mr Surfacer, and lots and lots of light sanding. I can't really give any more assembly tips, just be patient in assembling anything until close to the end... I'd hope to see yours complete sometime soon! |

Actually, you really helped me w/ mine. After we exchanged posts, I went and looked at mine, and it wasn't as bad as I remembered. I also had the idea to drop some MSG/Kotobukia ‘burner nozzles' into those little holes. They fit perfectly, like they were made to go there.
I also filled the seams w/ Mr Surfacer, a product I had only recently become aware of. Again, worked like a wish fufilled.
So yeah, I really appreciate you posting your pictures. Helped me bust right on through a modeling block. Thanks.

I'm thinking it may be less stressful, when I build mine, To forget about the working features and just build it in-flight, glued together. |

Yeah, that was my other problem. I can get so anal-retentive about getting a kit perfect, that sometimes it stops being fun to build and I lose interest in it. I've decided that an 'in flight' model will be just the ticket. Now, if I can only figure out where to drill the hole for the brass rod...
...and if we could get David / PLU1 to post some pix of his work, it'd be all good!
