Nothing wrong with a bit of filling and sanding. Is the kit Roden plastic with resin and etch additions? It looks familiar.
Richie
Yes, Richie. Roden plastic with PE frets done by Eduard, and True Details resin .

Following along on this one, too. Can you show the detail on the pulleys?
I don't know how many Encore kits you've done, but would you say they significantly improve the base Roden kit?
Thanks for following Ken. Sorry it has been a while since My last update. I hope My poor photography shows enough of the detail. I would say on this kit the Rein and PE do significantly improve the kit. I am using More of the PE than usual which says something I guess

The pulleys:
Have fun building this Rick. I think the SE5 is a real beautiful plane. Like Richie said, nothing wrong with some filling and sanding. I 5hink in the end no one can tell the difference.
Thanks for looking in. So far I am enjoying the build

Todays update:
I have used the PE bezels and dials for the IP and am OK with the results. I also used HGW lap belts slightly simplified then a wash of burnt umber applied. I also used the PE ammo drum storage boxes. The one on the floor has a CSM ammo drum installed. Finally I used stretched sprue for the control lines.

Resin and PE radiator and cover.
and it begins to come together:
