I applied the principles I used in the cardboard test to styrene. Lots of sanding and puttying, trimming and problem solving. I find that as I go, I am running more and more into the limitations of styrene as a material. I posted this on a few forums, and a number of people suggested perhaps transitioning into balsa wood or basswood. That may be the next frontier for me, but for now, styrene will do. Lots more work to do (cockpit detailing, gunner station, landing gear, etc.), but I am enjoying this project...and learning a whole heck of a lot of new tricks. It's certainly been a challenging build thus far.
