Thanks Aaron!

Your quite welcome. I hate sanding for I do it day in and day out.

 

[B-17engineer]

Speaking of sanding, ran some light Grey paint along the seams to show that I obviously need to sand A LOT more and fill some areas.

Ridiculous.....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Monotonous, isn't it? I know exactly how you feel but your doing it the correct way. Carry on.

Thanks Aaron!

Harrison, don't forget the putty/Cutex trick I posted elsewhere. Saves lots of time and aggravation. Just don't go overboard on the Cutex as it can soften the plastic. And it will definitely remove paint.

Funny you mention it, yesterday at the bench I kept wondering why I have a bottle of nail polish!

Thanks Andy

I got the paints for this in the mail today

What you do with nail polish is your thing H. Don't ask, don't tell!

Folks, he's aging a lot faster than we thought he would.

Thanks guys, only window for modeling this weekend would be Saturday as today and Sunday I won't be around.

Darn....

 

[B-17engineer]

Still trying to decide whether to use Putty or a mix of future and talc powder....suggestions?

 

[Wurger]

For what will you want to use these?

 

[B-17engineer]

To fill some seams,

I ended up using putty because I can use nail polish remover so no more sanding.

 

[Wurger]

I'm afraid, you are a little bit wrong. Every seam filled with a putty or CA glue etc...will need to be sanded if the amount of the used filler is too huge. It is because sanding is not only for removing of an excess of any filler. It is for shaping of the filled area.

Please , show me these seams.... if it is possible certainly.

Looking good. Is the surface all around these filled gaps smooth?

Also I think that there shouldn't have been any putty in these gaps between the fuselage and elevators. In fact these were going up and down , am I right?

 

[B-17engineer]

Sorry Wojtek, not sure what you mean?

More work with the filling, getting there.....no pics since its similar to last time.
