Hase 1/32 P-47 Cowling/Fuselage Fix

This was my fix for my "Slick Chick" build.  Good luck and have fun:

 

THE DOCTOR IS IN

carefully removing the engine mount after fuselage is glued and cured, the one piece canopy (I'm using the two piece option for both final builds) is very handy to protect the pit during surgery...

using 1.6mm styrene angle 3 pieces are cut and glued, port and starboard sides are easy to position however, the critical bottom piece is dropped 1mm.

initial test fit (with complete engine parts) shows an acceptable fit...

a final test fit of engine mount then...

add a .05mm styrene card placed to recapture space lost from the "saw off" and give the repositioned engine mount some glue area...
