| 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. |

| Are you doubling the amount of stringers and then filling the gaps? What are you using for the filler? |

| 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. |

| Can you explain this process of filling to me? I would like to try it on my P-40. |

| Thanks, all. Yeah, it is a bit crazy. Some might even say obsessive ;-) I'm the same about painting on canvas but for the moment models are more fun. I did take a couple of days off from this to do a painting for The Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University whose Director spoke at our dedication banquet in Louisiana last year. |
