WIP....Hasegawa 1/72 F-4E Phantom II






A chilling sight for any modeler....GAPS & STEPS.
Common in most early molded kits...yes even Hasegawa. One method to eliminate those gaps is by using Altico A+B epoxy putty. Mix equal amounts of resin and hardener then roll into thin stings or beads. Apply into and over the gaps. Use talcum powder to keep the mixture from sticking to your fingers. Use a brush dipped in water to smoothen the surface of the putty if necessary. Once completely dried, it can be sanded down to size.
