Aaaaah,

Never was good at Chemistry.

I shall lay prostrate and expect several lashings for my error!

I read also that some people use "typewriter correcting fluid" (Tippex) as a filler of small joints too.
You can sand it or you can wipe it off with nail varnish remover. I find it doesn't stick to the plastic all that well. For my money, the best fine crack filler is Mr Surfacer 500, it seems to become part of the plastic. With all products that you're using for the first time, TRY IT FIRST ON SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T MATTER. You could also try melting stretched sprue with liquid poly.

In the past I used to make my own plastic filler by dissolving sprue or old plastic in solvent - either Slater's MEK or something similar. You have to be careful as it does melt plastic very easily.

Hi All,

Got back in the saddle again, and now nearly finished.
'Decalled', 'Kleered' and undercarriage attached, doors still to affix. Also a couple of aerials from plasticard

He she is fully finished.
Have added undercarriage doors, and aerials. Also added the 'AG' code to front U/C doors.
Pictured on a representative base, though I will make something a little longer to get her to sit in properly.
Hope you like pictures.
