I think Ian's right about those seams. If you don't get cement all the way along a seam, there will always be a gap between the two parts which won't have fused together. No amount of sanding will get rid of it, and I suspect a lot of putties will be too thick to fill what is a really tiny gap.
If you use Extra Thin cement, it's worth running the brush the whole length of the seam and not rely too much on capillary action. Don't worry too much about extra cement along the joint line. 90% of the time this will be invisible under your first coat of paint/primer. If it does show through, a light going over with a sponge type sander will shift it.
Dave,
Yes, I did use the Tamiya Extra Thin Quick Setting cement and just capillary action. I was trying to avoid my early faults of glue everywhere on all seams but guess I underdid it a bit. I’ll run the brush along the seams in future.
Thanks for the tip.:thumb2:
