I might have said lighten it with some white. I assume it's for the undersides.

I see Bill. Because you use the Revell glue I thought it was the problem. Unfortunately the kind of cement isn't the best one. It is said , if you want to make some corrections to a model later, you should use this glue. A few years later the model will fall apart itself. So the styrene is fine I think. Keep working.

That's the back seat in blue!!!!!! Perhaps I should go the Russian gray? Or as you suggest add some white, and as T Bolt suggests, a black wash over.

This kits just got me stymied. The real answer is stay away from this brand kit! Pay the extra money for kits that perform Wurger. The few dollars I saved was not worth the aggravation.

Wurger, that wedge was from the spru, just so I was doing like to like. Hoping to make sure everything would melt together. But it didn't. All my next models will be tried and true. Getting this kit for me, was like getting counterfit golf clubs, look the sme, But!

Gorilla glue?????? Please explain.

There is a new glue out that is suppose to be easier to use than CA glue and stronger.
Gorilla Glue - Home Perhaps you have it where you are. I usually find it in a hardware store.

I used Gorilla glue to fix a small concrete statue that was broken and it was a disaster. The stuff sticks real well, but if foams up and expands. I would recommend testing it out first before using it on something you are going to keep

I wasn't aware that it expanded. I know they make different types but as in all things, experiment first. Thanks for the caution note.
T Bolt

Maybe I bought the wrong type. It was a dark brown liquid, and the when the foam hardened it reminded me of that expanding foam in a spray can you get at the home improvement store to fill holes, only somewhat denser.

Forgive the picture sizes. My laptop has the dreaded blue screen of death, which has Corel, this is being posted from my little womans laptop, no Corel.
Bill

Looks great! Maybe I missed it but why is the rumble seat blue?

Thanks guys. The solution to the filling and wedges took a while. This evening I have filled the space at the rear of the wing. Tomorrow I will finish this off, after a rare day of work at the sign shop. Maybe I can get the wing attached over the weekend, if I can tear myself away from the Masters golf!
*Am I wrong, do they still use blue for interiors? I believe I have seen jets, don't know how old, that were painted with blue as an interior color.
