OK so I am thinking this is looking ok though I think the slop is too sharp and I may need to work it out a little more.

That's what I would do too. Patiently build it up and smooth it til you have it nice and curvy.

So I cut out a section of card stock in the general dimension I wanted and glued the upper section along the wing left it set for a couple of days. Than this evening I worked it at the forward section then the sides. Using Proweld (or equivalent) I let it set some as it softens up the plastic so it will mold some. I think it did ok. The mess will clean up easily.

Looking quite good. A shot of primer to check and off you go.

Thanks guys but it's got some sanding and filing and forming work to go before primer.

After sanding the mod I still had a ledge to work. I used Tamiya White putty to work the issue. This did some but more work. I used some Mr. Surfacer 500 and then sanded that down. I'm liking it now.

Great progress there Don.

 

[Donivanp]

Thank you all for the kind inputs. Update, Keywords; Mr. Surfacer 500 and Tamiya Surface Primer. I am learning to love them!

With most of the mod being worked out I was still having a little edge that I could work out. I laid down the Mr. Surfacer 500 and then after a day of drying I sanded the bejeezus out of it. over under and all around. I wish I had not put the engines on as they just got in the way but I got'er done!

I then has a noticeable gap on the engine wing mount which I used the Mr. Surfacer 500 for just using a toothpick to lay it down. I did the same to the aft wing fuselage section. This morning while still cool (as opposed to later in the day) I came up and sanded it all down. My right arm is giving me fits and I had to lay everything down several times to shake the numbness out but here are the results. Ready for a primer!
