Getting Pilot into initial position.

Deformed piece has a huge gap between wing and fuselage.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/9/2/1672892-70339-60-720.jpg)
Before Picture. Deformed piece from kit had massive gaps that need fixing.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/2/2/4/1659224-70339-17-720.jpg)
Applied Filler. First Time working with Magic Putty. Learned a lot.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/2/2/3/1659223-70339-31-720.jpg)
Finished. Sanded and wittled smooth.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/6/3/0/1668630-70339-69-720.jpg)
Learn a lesson forgotten of not forcing pieces together. Make sure that they easily slide on and off. Main gear shattered.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/6/2/3/1668623-70339-88-720.jpg)
With a little bit of luck was able to glue back together the main shattered gear. Only question is whether or not the the gear will be able to support the model.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/3/5/9/1701359-70339-49-720.jpg)
Primer definitely shows where the piece was broken and glued back together.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/3/6/0/1701360-70339-38-720.jpg)
Since 1st kit in a while seem lines for this kit are pretty obvious.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/6/1/1701361-70339-91-720.jpg)
Magic Putty did better than I expected for the part that was deformed.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/3/6/2/1701362-70339-28-720.jpg)
More seem issues. I guess what they say is right. That primer brings out the issues that will need to be addressed.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/2/7/2/1721272-70339-36-720.jpg)
The part of the wing part that used Magic Putty came out pretty good.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/2/7/1/1721271-70339-79-720.jpg)
Final coat of paint laid down with Badger 350. Now on to finishing and "Deckals"
