SPA Modeler

Advice! I am able to fit the wing joins if I leave a gap in the lower fuselage. I do not think that is practical. I will take photos tomorrow but right now I am just frustrated and need to stay away from the model for at least eight hours. My Dad said to sleep on it always so that works.

So the bottom wing is wider?

Lot easier to tell now with photos, my first thought would be to get a good join up at the wing then after that sits up, wrestle the tail into place

Holy crap!

I am in awe with the cockpit. Well done, Bruce! Now what to do with the wings and fuselage gaps.... I’m sure you will whip it into shape.

This sure is not a Tamiya “Shake and Bake” kit. Modeling skills required...

Thank you so much, BlackSheep Tom!

Thank you so much, Carlos Kahn Noonien Singh!

I am still scratching my head over what to do here. There are issues with the fuselage and the wings that I am reluctant to just grind away at without a plan. I was thinking to add an interior strip of plastic on the fuselage from the cockpit to the tail, basically to give a base for a fill if need be.

Like this fella did. One piece not two, though.

Bruce, the backing for filler sounds like a fine approach. I’m sure that you’ll make it work.
