F-100D Trumpeter - Help with resin needed

[themongoose]

I’ve got the Aires resin and...

Already i need some help   I’ve seen several builds with the resin wheel wells and they look really sweet. I haven’t found one that describes what it takes to get the wing to close up though . Could anyone who’s done this drop a few notes in here about how best to do this? Here’s what i have so far...

can’t be much thinner without going through the resin base

 

then here’s what they look like sandwiched between the wing halves

Hi, Have you sanded the area on the 2 wing haves as well? To be honest when I built the F-100D I used Eduard parts to detail the kit wing wheel bays as there did not seem to be a lot of difference. I did use the Aires resin for the nose wheel bay, main wheel bay, cockpit etc.

No, I haven’t sanded them yet. Can definitely try that to cut down the gap some. Maybe then there’s enough that can come off the top of the bay itself to fit.

Well I think this is the best it can be. I sanded the wing surface, and trimmed down the sides of the resin bits. Lost a tad of detail but probably not noticeable. I managed to save 2 hydraulic lines along the side wall so those will provide the extent of the detail on the wall.
