Chris E Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 The fuselage plug was a bit of a pain to get right . The tail section didn't really line up with the resin plug and it involved a lot of careful filling and sanding. I think i did it three times before I was satisfied with the result. It still might not be right as i have yet to shoot a test undercoat to see what the joins are like, so it may take me a while! Im just trying to get the wing joints filled and sanded at the moment, not a lot on this kit (dated 1974 on the inside of the wing mouldings!!) fits very well and i'm thinking of buying a few shares in Milliput More updates soon Chris.
