Thanks but I don't like the areas that I fixed.

Bummer - Why? Does the base colour without the primer give the white a different shade?
Can you redo or cover up with weathering?

It looks like the seams have been fixed well. I would strip the paint back around them, prime and repaint.

Why does it always feel like one step forward then five steps back. Trying to get the nose cleaned up more and noticed that the ECS vents on either side of the nose had become victims of all the sanding. So I cut them off and I'll be ordering Steel Beach's resin replacements.

I'm sorry to hear that. Some builds seem to fight the entire time.

I think a lot of the times it's me and not the kit. There's days I think I could screw up a snap together model.

Dude, I'm right there with you! This past couple days I feel like I've made negative progress myself. There must be something in the air....
