The wing to fuselage seam next to the wing fairing had a gap to work
on. First it was taped off close to the gap and Epoxysculpt was
pressed in and smoothed with a dental spoon. After curing it was
sanded out
and the area was taped off again so a second pass of Tamiya grey filler
could be applied. The tape has been removed but no sanding has been
done. Work has been done on the aft wing to fuselage join as there
was a slight step in an area that should have no join line, and the wing
leading edge was scraped down and sanded a little to get a smooth
transition to the lower cowl. The cannon barrels will be replaced
with turned metal for durability and better appearance. The tank
armor plate has been faired to the windscreen.
