I am concentrating on getting the wing root seam as close to perfect as I can, as there should be no seam forward of the cannon bay at all, being a one piece pressed metal construction. It is a case of dry fit, sand, chisel or scrape then dry fit again to locate "high" points in the spars, wing root cannon assemblies or fuselage to wing joins:
I as a little overzealous in my sanding of the port wing root. I could not get a solid join and light showed through the underside join in the MLG bay. So a piece of thin card was glued to the inner edge, allowed to dry and then cut to shape:
The result is pretty good, remembering these pieces are just sitting in place with some finger pressure:
With various sections having had their gloss coat in preparation for washes, I turned my attention to the anemic shroud protector. On a previous build, I just painted it up. This time I wanted to beef it up so a piece of 1mm rod was cut and glued centrally to the shroud. Once this area has dried I intend to carefully bend the rod to conform to shape, ementing a bit at a time and allowing it to cure:
That's all for now, thanks looking in.
