I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Image Comments David Duckett 27-Jan-09 10:50 After the first application of filler has been sanded RTD89 26-Dec-10 19:26 Can you explain this process of filling to me? I would like to try it on my P-40. David Duckett 26-Dec-10 20:05 Click on the "build thread", just below the "Guillows Series.." at the top left of this image. That will show the process step by step. I use it on many models so look on threads for more than just this model. Also you can click on the "next" and "prev" words above the photo to go forward and back in this build. If that doesn't help, I'll get back with you in the morning to fully explain it. RTD89 03-Jan-11 21:32 Are you doubling the amount of stringers and then filling the gaps? What are you using for the filler? David Duckett 04-Jan-11 02:31 I often double the number of stringers, especially for curved areas like the top and bottom of the fuselage. I find it helps maintain the proper shape. I have soft balsa in several sizes, 1/8", 3/32", 3/16", and 1/4", for filling the spaces. I use Hobbico filler, pictured here, and Sherwin-Williams Shrink-Free Spackling for fillers. The S-W product is cheaper than Hobbico but is actually quite well suited for this process. Check the build thread for the Mustang. It's important to let the filler dry thoroughly before sanding but it's also important to not let it sit for a long time before sanding as it gets harder with age. Also, Filler is for gaps, not gullies. I would suggest the S-W product and I think that once you use it you'll see just how easy it is. RTD89 05-Jan-11 13:54 Thank you for the knowledge David!
