Martin it's definitely one of those tasks that is good to have behind you.
How good is the fit of the undercart doors, when closed...
Not the best I've struck, they are definitely meant to be open, they have nice little locating pins and recesses in the sides of the wheel bay to position them open. So some reinforcing and filling to do.
Blended in nose cone, didn't take much effort, then marked out the recess and filled the trough , sorry pretty hard to see in the piccie. I had already backed the area with plasticard in case I had some sand through, and it got close in a couple of spots.
Also made a start on the form for the gun pod.
Traced the side profiles form the decal instructions and transferred them to plasticard, cemented together and reinforced the joints with sprue. I'll let them set solid then sand the side to side profile.
Cheers
