@Steve

I really dont know why the same model is different from person to person... I have same problems with my Revell RAFALE in 1/48. My friend was make it and no problems at all, but I had struggle with all possible joints...

I think is trick where are these models stored... maybe some source of heat deform plastic... how will know what is happening???

But I'm shure for one thing that you have nailed it pritty good :smiling3:

I have decide it that pilot dorr will be closed... but fit is terrible... to mutch gap on it... must do something there... how is your door fit?

Hmmm, silver one.... great idea... must see on net for references...

For now it will be standard RAF camo...

Do you have any pics of silver camo?

hehehe, I get that from youtube... Put CA glue on the gap... after that put talcum like you salt your soup... I mena thru fingers :sad: dont know better to explain... and after few seconds wipe talk off with brush :smiling3:

you will got great filled gap because CA react like cement for building houses or better say for joining bricks??? i think it says cement

When you sanding that away you will get little more job, but when is sanded looks like plastic :smiling3:

Roman

I found video... he use baking powder... same thing like talcum... booth will do :smiling3:
