I would love if it would be so easy. But the thickness of plastic there is like paper. If I'll put putty there and begin to sand I will have a hole somewhere near :(

All you can do is cut back to thicker plastic and refill from there. Have you tried epoxie putty? Great for filling large holes, then use the white putty to fill any small imperfections.

I Use Apoxie Sculpt 2-part modelling compound. Awesome stuff; water-based, doesn't damage plastic, adheres well &, when cured, has similar properties to styrene. :)

Well , I can't because there is nothing under this plastic. As a basic putty I'm using Novol automotive finishing putty. Now I have Miliput , unfortunately it's too late.

Anyway , Skorpion is almost ready for some paint:


I found this seat in my stash. It fits nicely into cockpit:

That really finished up a treat, Artoor!

The camo is absolutely first-rate and using Polish markings on this beauty was truly inspired!

Both builds are awesome. I would not want to be anywhere near the Skorpion when it shows up. It would be a Maverick massacre.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.
