Some of the smallest resin and PE that I've successfully dealt with, yet.

Roughly assembled. Still did a bit of sanding to get the walls and bulkheads tuned-up/flush.

First time I've used the Uschi metallic powder for anything. The seat and floor were both treated with it to my satisfaction.

So much fine detail with the PE. It will hardly be visible inside the fuselage.

Too bad you won't see most of this once it is enclosed in the fuselage.

Fitting resin pits to a styrene fuselage has always been a problem for me. I had no idea how easy some Green Stuff could make it.

Green Stuff is not going to let this pit go anywhere once it cures.

Thanks, pal. One nice thing about spraying acrylics is that it (usually) comes off pretty quickly. Enamels not so much.
