Leaving for my fishing trip on Friday so I'm only doing small things on the Dora this week.
Here's a closer view of the starboard wing root joint that needs attention. I used a piece of sprue fused with Tamiya Extra Thin cement to fill the visible gap. The panel including the bulge on the wing is the one piece access cover for the wing guns so the joint at the wing root needs to be completely eliminated.
A look at the joint on the fuselage bottom. You can see the white sliver of sheet plastic that I used as a shim. After the joint is cleaned up, I'll finish up the rivets on this small portion of fuselage bottom.
This small piece between the wheel well openings is now ready to be glued into place. First I want to secure the ammo chutes so I dab some Elmer's White Glue around the joint.
I then put the wing piece into place and allow the ammo chutes to dry in the final position. The incessant dry-fitting has scraped away some paint on the ammo chutes as well as the ammo container. Once the white glue is dry, I'll remove the piece and fix the paint scrapes.
I can now glue that final wing piece into place. Note the two holes along the centerline. These need to be drilled out beforehand if you are planning to mount the centerline drop tank.
Speaking of drop tank, I decided to put some dents on my already painted drop tank. The paint was wiped off and I added a few dings using a Dremel.
