There was a minor accident, and a piece visible through the side window fell out of the fuselage after the whole thing was closed. A rescue operation was necessary.

The wings need to be sanded, otherwise the part composed of two halves will be too thick in relation to the rest of the wing. 

The only reasonable way to fit the wing to the fuselage is to insert an element that extends the wing thickness.

Tamiya White Putty is not suitable for rebuilding wide areas, recreating pointed ends or filling gaps where lines are to be traced, so I replaced it with Tamiya Epoxy Putty

It is difficult to sand the joints of the landing gear covers, and since I glued the left landing gear to the right slot, I decided to remove them, cut them using the second pair of covers available in the kit and initially glue only the upper part of one, which will make filling and sanding easier. 

Maybe Tamiya White Putty will be easier to sand? (No, it wasn't) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I recreated these wing elements using parts from Part S48-087 "Control Horns & Turnbuckles"
