Sounds like you have it. Worst case you might need to add some body putty to smooth.

G,day , what i've got is very fine wet and dry , (automotive ) sandpaper thumbtacked to a peice of flat wood and lightly rub the peices so it shaves the joining parts dead flat . Then when the parts are joined there's very minimal join gap .

I fill the seams with CA glue, hit it with some CA accelerator and then sand the sames away.

Unfortunately, my spotters guide is gone. An entire portion of my website is gone after a server problem.

for me 50% of the time ...the glue melts the plastic just a little bit .. hold pressior on the two 1/2 s .. and maybe just maybe the pastic will fill the gap ..but all most aways you have to to some trim sand paint
