Possible it was the worst kit you 've ever made but you have managed on this in an excellent way.A very nice model of the not very popular aircraft.
Well done Ian Lanc.

I am not familiar with this particular brand/product, but I know of "bondo".
Shame that stuff won't work on balsa/tissue models

Been in the auto repair field since 1971, altho not body work. Now I do
paperwork.... warranty ! Thanks...
