Well that's a new one for me. Got to love having a forum to come to!

Happy to help.

Sprue-goo? Please explain.

I used a half bottle of Tamiya extra thin with spru trimmings added until reaching the correct consistency. Works a treat.

Pantherman is correct.
I had about a ¼ full of Tamiya thin and dropped small pieces of sprue in the bottle. The chemical reaction melts the sprue creating the goo. You can make the goo as thin or thick as you wish depending on how much of cement and sprue used. Mine is about a medium consistency like a thick white glue. It does set fairly quick but you should have enough time to work with it. Application can be done by an old paint brush or even toothpicks (cocktail sticks).
I found this method on YouTube as a way to close gaps for the fuselage.
I hope this helps.

It also works really well filling the seams on figures. So much easier than trying to sand or scrape filler.

Progress is slow but still making some.

Here is a couple more WIP pics. I still need to do something with the seam on the front.

Right side and front decals are done. Starting left side, the top, and underside.

Thank you sir.
It went together relatively smoothly. I little tedious with the decals but that’s why we do it. I think this is the most decals I have ever put on one model.
