The wing joints are the same as that old Monogram F-106 I built last year. These can be kind of frustrating to fill even though you'd think it to be simple, but it does preserve the sharpness of the leading edges.

First sanding; then second putty (green): must be sanded again and some panels have to be rescribed...

Good progression ;)

Today, a little bit of surgery was needed, because the aircraft I want to build is one upgraded in the '80s; so I have to use the resin part and remove some plastic...
I have also finished sanding and recribed some panels.
Finally I've glued the fuselage and the wings - Again, some putty will be needed.

Yes, putty and sanding again...

The sprue+liquid glue falled out of the resin part; I've used miliput this time...
