Thanks guys. Most of the wings/fuselage fit was self-inflicted by younger, less experienced George. The bomb bay fit not being so good. Spent the morning hacking and slashing the outer areas of the bomb bay and now have a gosh darned good test fit. I'll start gluing together once the missus returns as this will take three hands and despite all the radiation I receive, no third arm is evolving yet. There is a step that shows how to mount the bay doors close by removing them from the inner frame. I removed one and the fit is atrocious. I'm glad I used the Tamiya fine saw to remove it as a test fit shows a great reattachment.
Just started doing that myself and for the most part it works great. I say most part but as mentioned in another build, I have a tendency to bevel the edges outward when I'm sanding. Really working hard to avoid this in the future. I've been reading a bit lately about glue goop and might give this a shot as well. I've got about 4mm left in a TET bottle which I will tranfer over to an empty cleaned out Tamiya paint bottle; this being for easier access. Right now I'm looking for info about how long this stuff will last in a bottle before it sets upI've been melting stretched sprue into gaps with TET lately.
