spitfire model accident

hello:
look what I just did! I was using heavy auto primer-with which I've used with great success in the past to assist with a few large gaps when it leaked through the tape masks. When all hell broke loose and removing the tape, the wing roots and undercarriage separated at the seems. I'm probably not going to proceed with it due to the enormous time and work involved-filling, shaping and recreating all the detail. I'm still a little dazed from this accident so please share your thoughts! I could always use this kit as a test canvas too so maybe all is good.
