Next was time to glue the nose section to the fuselage. Now, this piece, once glued makes a very small seam that isn't really noticeable, but because I have a "scale complex" I wanted everything to match as does the real one. So, with that said, I puttied, sanded, and formed to shape. Doing this, I would sand away some of the current panel lines. All I did was lay down 1/64 chart tape and paint over it with 3 coats of primer. Once the primer dries, I wet sand with 1200 grit sand paper then pull the tape up. The lines all matched perfect with a seamless nose!
