Your approach is a little different from what I did when I built my Monogram 111 for the Kasserine Pass Group several years ago. I really like how you did this. I was constantly worried about getting sanding dust inside the glazing, or having glue destroy a clear part. There's practically no way to avoid this, and static can be a nightmare too.
I remember going through similar pains, but in the end, the results are definitely worth it. I like your approach, and will definitely come back to read this journal again prior to building my next Monogram Heinkel 111 build. I still have 2 or 3 more of them left in the stash...one is the Pro Modeler version H-22 with the upper turret and V-1 slung under the wing. First I must complete the ICM version. It's a great kit, I just lost my interest in it after the glue spill on it.
