Here's one of the flaps. I glued a piece of sprue to the top edge, puttied and sanded, and, well, here it is.

Thank you kind Sirs!
The flaps have had several rounds of putty and sanding, the underwing bay is finished and the inside edges of the wing where the slots and flaps fit have been sanded down to a more scale effect.

Certainly starting to get interesting. Got me wanting to get one of these now - must resist, must resist - already got too many boxes of plastic waiting to be converted into dust-gatherers !
