So I just tried the above techniques on my Academy F16, which for the record has some scary seams. When I got the kit I originally thought mine had been horsed up when i saw the seam on it. So it has been sitting in my stash for about a year till I read this. So I ventured to Walworlds fingernail section and purchased an interesting looking emery board with 8 levels of sanding. Using the 6 lightest I got most of the seam off and then it polished up to almost clear without any Klear. No pun intended. Very easy, but just had to keep the surface clean of plastic particles as they built up. Will be dipping in clear tomorrow to see the final result, but it looks good so far. Great tips...thanks guys.

I get the shivers when I open up fresh styrene in card board boxes. Might be the spilt glue I spose.
