Default Hing Gap on Elevator ????????????

Hi,

Hope someone can help, ive contructed a ARTF kit and ive been told the the gap on the elevator ie: Hing Gap between the 2 surfaces is too big its about 1.2 mm visible gap. Is this too much ?????????????? and would it make that much differencein the air ??

Its impossible to cut them out as the rudder, tailwheel etc are all glued in after soo thiers no way of redoing them !!!!!! If the gap is too much is thier anything else i could use to make this smaller ? i cant add more covering as its a camoflage covering as its a spitfire and its like shelfpaper......

The hinges are CA attached, do you recommend pining them aswell ? do u just use a household pin for this and file it down after ??

Thx in advance for any help
