From my experience, and that of a few others from this forum, your cracks are probably due to the random drying time of the various coats you have applied.
In my case, I didn't allow for the change of season we had here over a month.
The price was a totally stuffed P-38J.
The second time I used Alclad I allowed a 2 week drying period between coats.
So far there have been no cracks, and it has been 5 months since I finished my model.
Experiment with some plasti card I think, and see how ti works out.
Has to be better than having a dozen ruined models.
