dodgem37 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 'with this model i brushed it on quite thin so there is not much wood grain effect' That is what I noticed and is what stood out to me as being different from similar builds, the reason for my inquiry. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) hello hello I need some advice, the halves are together, but there is a very ugly, slightly concave seam at the tail of the plane, i"m unsure either Fill the seam sand sand and more sand Buy thin styrene sheet make a template and glue over the top of the tail section and try and blend the edges anyone got and recommendations?? I am thinking I'll probably have a go at filling and sanding, basically because i have no sheet, plus if it goes badly i can cover it anyway, maybe Thanks in advance Edited January 29, 2019 by Robthepom Model_Monkey, BradG and Jan_G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Both will work, using sheet is faster (if you can get it quickly). Moving right along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Dang that is gly. I like putting some sheet in to take up space and reduce the amount of filler. If you do this sand or file down the edges so there aren’t any sharp edges or points left. These can come through the putty later and show everyone where the filler is as it will crack around the edges of the filler piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robthepom Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 thanks Bob Did a lot of work on the rear seam, took me 3 goes before i was happy, very satisfying to finish it. The engines are a delight and the moulding on each radiator is beautiful, i'm going to leave them OOB just some weathering and oil stains williamj, Trak-Tor, Erwin and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
