The entire floor will be removed and a plank piece of card will be fitted. From there I will attempt to add a modified version of detail. I can't make it deeper because it will interfere with top wing and fuselage. Any advice is more than welome....harv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another idea would be to use the upper wing as a floor for the wheel-well, but regarding the other problems that it causes it may be too much effort. But it would make the building up of the details in it much easier because of the space for working. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow113 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Grind out the spurious lines. That would provide a spurious base to begin some less spurious detailing. A semi-decent compromise. Good luck! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
