I dont think i'll be mixing baking soda and CA but maybe down the road lol. It was a misalignment and those pictures showed my attempt at repairing it, I have further sanded down the CA glue and it feels smooth and such, sprayed a quick layer of primer and it looked fine.. some more fine sanding and then I will continue to the wings, which will most likely need putty between them and the main body. Im glad I fixed the seam though 8). Esp on the nose, most people dont see seams on the bottom of plane because no one takes photos down there!
Speaking of gaps......
I'm almost finished with the 410 and I have a problem. As I was test fitting the front glass piece of the 410 I found a large gap along one side. The fuselage doesn't exactly come together or something. Anyhow, once the piece is attached I need to fill the gap. Heres the question....
I have no filler, putty or otherwise. No way to get any. I'm thinking of making my own with some sprue but does anybody know how this will affect the clear plastic of the piece (clouding, etc.,) or if going slowly will work out ok?
Good tip Sweb. I find that gloss (enamel-type) varnish and talcum powder is slightly better; this is because the varnish binds better and, when dry and hard, sands well without break-down, and the talcum powder is less prone to decomposition than baking soda, and will blend better during mixing, eliminating 'lumps'. The principle is exactly the same though, and some, such as Master Wojtek, use paint instead of clear varnish. I prefer the varnish as there is no pigment to contend with; for a very thin 'mix', where a very fine fill is required that will not be sanded, then a similar mix is used, where the gloss varnish is replaced by Johnson's 'Klear' (Future).
