Whoa... definitely the fuselage. I'm curious on how you're going to fill those gaps without damaging the canopy. I'm thinking you will tape the canopy on the fuselage while doing quite a bit of fitting and sanding using pieces of styrene?

...a great, big hammer, BlackSheep. A great, big hammer. Right now, I'm just a bit confused. Happily so, but still. As I worked around the canopy gluing what I could - this happened....much more bettererer.

I have that, too! I have a bunch of putty....some of my models looked like a coat of many colors before they were painted.

Hey Paul....watch the home position on the keyboard! :giggles: :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

I really haven't used masks very much - would not have wanted to do this one any other way, though. Onward!

I think Kermit the Frog once said, "It is not easy being green." Well, the beastie is green. A new friend on FSM is sending me the Old Battler decals. I have one other option if that doesn't work.
