Mal_Belford Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks for yhem finecomments... This evening job...and now let it all rest tomorrow...as this needs to cure properly..Tamiya putty diluted in acetone...few thin coats over the affected holes that previously been plugged using plsstic card rod.....if sand it flush now....it will shrink later and risking leave a circular mark there thin and slightly visible...and we vant to avoid that.....so let it cure tomorrow... Closeup....a few..just a few new rivets here...delicate precision work here... Nothing is difficult to cure.....Mals Madness /Mal Youngtiger1, Bill Cross, tucohoward and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
