Not too bad. I can live with this. Now for the other wing.

Looks good! I've seen people glue the wing tops FIRST in order to get a good joint at the wing root and then the wing bottom afterward.

That clamping combination sure did the trick—that is a very respectable looking gap—and your black primer just shows off the details so well! Congratulations so far.

Thanks guys! Yeah John, I don't know why I didn't think of that before.jkim wrote:Looks good! I've seen people glue the wing tops FIRST in order to get a good joint at the wing root and then the wing bottom afterward.
But I've gotten the other wing on. This might take a little more work than the first one.

Are the joins gapped pretty evenly? They appear to be. What do you plan to use to fill, Medic?

Either my usual Perfect Plastic Putty or maybe Milliput.Re: 1/48 Revell SBD Dauntless

With the looks of all them clamps seems like you've had one hell of a fight to get it to this stage. The old revell kits they're fighters that's for sure.

You brought this to life, Medic. The primed sections look phenomenal—and color coats are only gonna improve the whole look!
