Those areas, the glue settled . Then caused this little but a set back problemThe areas are very soft very soft ..photo belowWhat do I do . I e mail Nigel a freind for advice .His advice , is to let it sit tell the glue cures out . Not to touch or do any repairs .A big thank you again NIgel my friend This is why I wished there was a model group here for low skill people like me . .I'm getting there .

I mocked up my exhaust too see what it look like .. Not bad .. If you look one way it looks more gold , different way more jet exhaust or more black . Sure has a candy paint look .. I got couple things to do . Then glue this one exhaust into place . Then glue the fuselage together Enjoy Rick

Thanks Its been a bit since I worked on this big bird . Work was super busy , slowing down a tad . I started on the tail gate .. The tail gate when I glue that down , Will it went south in a bad way . No photo . The super glue stuck instant . I had the photo etch in the wrong direction .. So I peeled it off . The photo etch wrinkled A tad . I did get it glues down . There is rough areas. I'm going make this tail gate looked good and used .. Enjoy Rick
