Clamped body looks good Carl. Was it warped ?

Guy I cant say if it was warped or ill fitting of the parts . The later I believe . I'm still doing some clamping on the ammunition compartment . Doogie the putty work continues but I'm about done with it . Next purchase might be more Bondo . My white putty dries up in the tube and the Bondo squirts out onusable liquid .  Thanks guys !  |

My white putty dries up in the tube and the Bondo squirts out onusable liquid . Sounds like both ends of the spectrum! |

Its an old tube John so I guess as to be expected . This just about will finish the main assembly . It required some scrapping , cutting , filing , clamping and to get it here .    These are required tools .  |

I didn’t realise this kit had the engine and interior, makes it more tempting, even if the EPMs do their best to put me off  Great work with it buddy , it’ll look great under paint  |

Hey guys thanks ! Thanks for putting the "M" in there Joe ! Hobby boss is off my list Mark ! I'm going to leave the engine bay screens off to show the engine Steve . Never had the clap buddy not even when I was over seas . I have a tube of Tamiya polyester putty a buddy left me but never opened it . Its a 2 part putty but your probably referring to the basic putty which I haven't used . I'm sorry Bruce  |

I remember the big tube if Model Master red putty. I'm pretty sure it's the same as bondo. I liked using it for big jobs.
