Worked more with filling gaps - it's pretty complicated. Putty's hard to
file, melting glue could, well, melt everything, and cement requires multiple
applications between drying time.
Remember that nacelle that was crooked? I fixed it by eliminating the post
it stood on and just gluing it to the hull. A little drastic, yes.. In
retrospect I should have left a little of the mount just to give it some
substance in structure, but it was crooked so I just did away with it. Not
sure if I'll use putty, I may well.

Worked with the airbrush for the first time -
splatters, inconsistencies, total mess. Ran out of air, changed cans, and
it was perfect - the picture of grace.
Okay, next lesson - the kind of air you use in an
airbrush is core. It'll be interesting to see what it's like
spraying enamel (the airbrush kit came with acrylic). The problem with
experimentation is the fact that it's expensive - each air can
costs $12, and you can go through it in fifteen minutes. I can see why
professionals just grab a compressor - no contest.
