Mark, pardon my vocabulary, but what exactly is "c/a glue"? I m using only Tamiya Cement for now.

I'll definitely remember this, thank you. Yours advice has been incredibly helpful, couldn't have gotten this far without it..It's frustrating Matteo but it's a problem we have all encountered and had to fix.
I would go along with Mark's earlier post. Clean up the area and then fill the gap as carefully and as neatly as possible with some scrap plastic - bits of sprue or unused parts. Use ordinary styrene glue. Give it plenty of time to harden and then sand back. Any small gaps left can be filled with filler. Keep filling and sanding until the join is right.
Sound advice to check the fit of the window as the space for it may now be too wide.
Now that looks like a well used operational cab that has seen a few ‘hot’ LZ’s!!Ah, that's exactly what I've just done! I was just about to share it. I lightly refilled it and sanded it again. Now it looks and feels much smoother. Of course pictures without the paint.

Ouch!!! But not to worry, a good model isn't really complete without some of the modeller's blood on it somewhere. It's kinda like an artist signing his painting.Oh, and I learned another important lesson yesterday: never try to catch a falling knife. I ended up accidentally stabbing my thumb. I think it went 5mm deep.
So that’s what I’m doing wrong!!! Doh!!!!A true modeller takes the models and tools along on vacation
