1/350 U.S.S. Enterprise Flight Deck

Kenny,

On mine I glued the deck together as per the instructions. To preserve the detail, I very lightly drilled a depression in the deck where the raised tie down spots are located. So after filling and sanding the seam, the depressions will stil be visible. Once painted, you won't be able to tell the difference in the drilled spots and the raised spots. Other details such as landing lines etc shoudn't present much of a problem.

Kenny:
I just read a thread over on modelwarships.com that talked about this problem. The guy glued up his deck, then got a fine tooth model saw and cut down the seam line. He says he lost less than 1mm of deck and ended up with good joints and no detail loss.

Since I haven't tried this myself I would wander over to the other site and check it out.
Regards,
Bruce
