Josip Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 On the close inspection there is a big gap between the fuselage and the windshield that really spoils the whole picture. Was the fit so bad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exhausted Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Great model! In particular, I like the wire antennae. I also noticed the front windshield gap, but it is very nice overall. Nice work. Edited August 18, 2021 by exhausted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranDuy Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Yeah i did notice it during the final assembly. But the fit is poor and i didnt test fit this part earlier. If i press it too hard it will stress the clear part and it will not be great. If you are using the 1 piece closing canopy it fit just fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Great model with perfect finish. You can close the gap of the windscreen with white glue. You brush it into the gap and it will dry totally transparent. Maybe apply twice after drying. The gap will be invisible after drying. If something goes wrong, you can easily remove dried white glue because it is not a solvent and destroys nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thank you for the tip about the canopy. If I ever get one I'll test fit the windshield before glueing. Otherwise it looks the part! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
