I have some sanding to do tonight. It’s in the “in between” stage at the moment.

It's looking good Bruce, filling, sanding, rinse, repeat it's one of them very time consuming things but if you don't do it you'll regret it when you hit it with that first coat of primer or paint.

Thanks, Clint!!! Of course I test fit the end cap and popped both seams. Serves me right for thinking any form of glue adhesive filler known to humanity would hold this beast for long.

I'm not familiar with this kit, is it not styrene? Maybe using something heavy duty like straight MEK or weldon. I've been using plast-i-weld closest thing to tenex7r I have found.

Cool! This is some kind of a "break waggon", right?
