Very, very nice Wolf! Very difficult to believe it is 1/72 - and a pleasure to view all that detail before you close it up! Regards, Marc

After I have glued the fuselage halves together, further problem areas showed up. There were some gaps between the halves and two areas were subisidiences could be found. A minor one on the left side behind the engine and a bigger one on the right lower fuselage.

I avoid the use of putty wherever possible or reasonable. So I filled the gaps with stretched sprue and the subsidiences with plastic sheet.



The use of thin plastic cement (Tamiya extra thin) makes it easy to bond the sheet and stretched sprue with the fuselage but it needs some time to cure. Therefore I will wait 48 hrs (I think 24hrs will be ok too) before I continue.

Excellent work using the plastic sheet and sprue to fill and even out the fuselage halves!

I agree that you corrections are very good. I usually allow 24 hours for glue to cure and generally have no problems. If you are able to file/sand the plastic corrections down and achieve the standard that you have reached so far on the rest of the build nobody will know what you have doe. This is first class modelling.

And this is the result after some sanding





No putty beside a minor spot at the top left cowling.

That is by far the best way to correct those kinds of errors. After a coat of paint nobody would know.
