Filling in a gap between sections ?

Post by merlyn3248 »

Hi,

I have a question. I just received my Tamiya 1:350 scale Missouri. I was test fitting the deck sections to the hull, the back hull section and middle hull section fit very well together and to the hull itself. But I notice a small gap between the front and middle sections of the deck. What is your preferred method of correcting or filling in a small gap between deck sections such as I described ?

Thanks
Lonnie

if it's a small enough gap, you could just use a putty/filler then sand it?. I've used that "green" stuff.. sorry, can't remembe the exact name ;)

I like a shim of styrene strip for deck gaps.
