Work continues on the warehouse for the LAJ extension. This weekend I added bottom sills for the windows (made from .040″ x .1 inch strip styrene). The windows and doors will be photos glued into place with 3M Super77 as the adhesive. My sense is I “might” get better adhesion if I’m applying the windows to an unpainted surface so I masked these areas off.
I’ve also spent a fair amount of time carefully filling in gaps with Tamiya spot putty. This wouldn’t really show up in a photo but the cracks are very obvious in person.
It’s hard to tell if you’ve successfully filled in all the gaps when you’re looking at a white styrene surface. By painting everything with light gray primer it’s a lot easier to see if you missed a spot or two. After the primer application I can check everything and go back and fill in any areas I missed.
