Thanks my friends @johnb and @airbum! LqS to the resque!
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Looking more homogeneous after sanding, still some work needed (around the windows and elsewhere)...
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

The canopy is ill fitting...

, so I will depart from my lifetime habit of attaching it at later stages and attach beforehand...🤨😄
Thanks for stopping by!

Habits are like rules, Spiros @fiveten, sometimes you have to break them. This will be a beauty when it’s finished.

Nothing like a hot bath. . . . .

Fingers crossed for a happy outcome of the corrective measures.
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Mmmm, that fit is not even close, Spiros @fiveten
For sure you will get that fixed.
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Thanks my friends @chinesegeorge, @airbum and @johnb!
Might try the hot bath 🤔🤔😀
George R Blair Jr said 1 year, 6 months ago:

I haven't seen a canopy that ill-fitting for a while, Spiros (@fiveten). For sure this will need to be dealt with now. This old plastic can be really brittle, so be careful with the hot bath. Good luck!
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Thanks my friend @gblair! Yes, I am tad worried too...
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Some filler...
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 6 months ago:

This should get it done, Spiros @fiveten.
Exactly the same points of attention as on my DC6, although the fitting issue with the canopy was not there.
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

My transparent sprue had been possibly removed from the mold before being sufficiently cool, my friend @johnb.
Erik Gjørup said 1 year, 6 months ago:

And some sanding. . . .

Now, where did I hide my DC-4?
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 6 months ago:

It would be wonderful to enter your DC-4, my friend @airbum!
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 5 months ago:

Still not too happy with the seams (the plastic on this kit easily exhibits "pitting"), so here goes another filling session...

Thanks for stopping by!
