Sorry for all the beginner questions lately. I really appreciate the help I have been getting. You guys are the best.
While I'm waiting for the clear coat on my Dolphin to set up well I started on the WNW Fokker E. IV. Its another great kit of course. I have the interior finished and while dry fitting the fuselage half's together the seams go together just fine but on the top there is a very shallow V with the low part being on the seam. I hope that makes sense. It would take a ton of filler to make it flat. Is there a way to make this level during assembly? I was thinking of making sprue posts to prop up the edges but that might cause the bottom to bulge.
Thanks again for any help.

Mine has a 0,3 mm dipp in the worst spot and I dont think it will be notisable when finnished.
If it was worse I would cut triangels of 2 mm plasticard and force them in to get a 90° angel.
Using sprues you will have to put them in the bottom inside corner to aviod the bottom bulging out.
Hope this make sense.

That's exactly how mine looks. I'll have to decide if I will bother to fix it or not. I see what you mean about putting the sprue posts in the corner to avoid a bulge.
