wisco8 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) HI everyone, I'm a newbie here so hope Im doing this right. Here is the first step in prep work,getting all the parts cleaned up. DSC00842 by cook7010@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr The next step was to attach the rear section of the car. I used liquid glue to melt it on then sanded and filled with 3m acryl blue and then finished it off.

This model is a curbside so nothing really to show for engine details. Those are some very nice pics, I will most certainly use them for the next build. Thank you for sharing Steve

It works really good for seam work on alot of the aircraft I do. The fit on the backside was very nice so I used some Tenax7r to melt and squish the fit. I usually use the same plastic from the build Im workiing with,its just a color thing. There is a new putty filler out there from Sherwin Williams, they use it to fill seams on real commercial jets. I tried to get ahold of them to obtain a sample,but havent had any luck yet, I do know it works on plastics. The name is Fill bond. Always trying new materials.
