FAA Skyhawk - Cuba '62 FINISHED
Weaver:
Okay FINALLY I have something to show on this build.... ::)
It's going to be a Fleet Air Arm Skyhawk, from the same background as my FAA Panther, as illustrated by Cliffy B:
Mine will have it's gear down, the idea being that it's on deck alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis, with a live Red Beard on the centreline... ??? the A-4C radar nose and the Red beard come courtesy of Freightdog.
No serious problems so far. The fit of the cockpit parts is far from exact, and the decals for the side consoles are too long: the length of the moulding instead of the length from the bulkhead to the control panel. One of the console decals started peeling but I think I've got it secured using glue as clear varnish.
Weaver:
Question: how would you fill a panel line on a resin piece? I presume the usual fillers wouldn't stick because they're solvent-based.
jcf:
Thick super glue or epoxy.
Cliffy B:
One of my creations is becoming a reality??!! :o :-* 8)
Don't forget the retracted flash hood for the pilot ;)
Try an acrylic putty. I use Elmer's wood putty. Water based and sticks fine from what I've seen.

Harold, I don't see any photos -- what third party storage place do you use ?
