Hello all and I'm introducing myself through a panic!
I purchased a airfix 1/24 bf109e and have been out of kit building for 11 years or so. I realized too late, last night that I have a 1/8" gap running along the fuselage joint line and applied squadron putty with a small putty knife in the hopes of filling the gap and building up the material to match and form a good joint. I have already primed with several coats but forgot to mask the area, now have putty everywhere and tried to use fine sandpaper to shape. My fear now is that I am removing detail, rivets etc and don't know what to do! Is there a way to just remove and or dissolve the putty? I now have blobs along the joint line so I'm really scared to do anything. This is also my first time using an airbrush so right from the start I applied too much primer and let it dry a week before moving on. If I apply more primer, will this fill in some of the material before I get down to low and sand off the detail? Thanks to all for at least reading this in amusement! Jeff.
