OK, in this post, you can see the filling that I had to do to correct the seams.

Here are two shots of the upper side of the aircraft:

And here is a shot of the underside:

I was thinking of trying to use stretched sprue and liquid glue to fill the seams, but decided it would be less work to use putty thinned with acetone.  I use Squadron white putty, apply it with a little sculpting spatula.  Then I use a cotton swab dipped in acetone to smooth the putty into the seam and remove the excess.

I also used some Mr Surfacer on the some of the seams, but it really isn't thick enough to fill gaps of this size, so I had to do a couple of passes of thinned putty on all of the seams.  Then, I sanded the excess with some 200 grit, then some 400 grit.

Now, my plan for this kit is to finish it with a natural metal finish, so I will need to get the seam areas as smooth as possible.  To that end, I spend some time this afternoon going over the seams with a set of MicroMesh polishing pads.  My next post will show the results.

Thanks for looking!
