Then there are the belly windows.

Did they provide the bicycle chain that cranks the gear? Probably hard to do in 1/48.

The seam is sanded with the raised rivets masked.
I treat them by several types of sandpaper,knife and Mr cement Sp and light-cured CA(to fill the gap).
A small piece of plastic(from the sprue) is applied to fill a small pit.
And it's sanded.
The damaged detail is restored by pen knife and line carver.
After dealing with the seam,higher grid of sandpaper is applied to prepare for primer,my primer is 1500# so
I use 1200# to finish this step.
