Cars I can do no bother. Everyone has the own niche. I done this to see if I could diverse. But unfortunately I can't it's IMO turning out utter crap not happy with any of it so far. And I am considering shelving it
THEN DO SO if you are not happy but i thought you was doin good
tbh not a lot left to do engines and undercarriage but i will continue until the end if not i see it as failure
Sorry for going off on one. But my autism kinda does that 
but I will persevere
but I will persevere
I make my own from Humbrol liquid poly and cut up sprue. Chuck some bits of sprue into the poly and it dissolves into a thick filler. Adjust the amount of sprue for thickness- hey presto you saved a few bob.
Well having slept on this and looking with fresh eyes it isn't as bad as I thought now the paint has dried soo on I continue
It's quite often the way, we are our own worst critics at times.
Kaci, a lot of the issues you are getting here are due this being a poor kit that is fighting back. The wing and fuselage fit in particular are quite poor. A hint if I may. Old fashioned stretched sprue can be useful on wing joints. It glues in as well as kit parts, but adds to the structural strength (nothing worse than a wing joint cracking after the beast is painted), sands at the same rate as the surrounding parts, and can be dressed to the same finish as the kit parts.. You have filler cracked from your car kit builds I think 
Don’t let this put you off trying other genres because the experience can be very rewarding and lead to an increase in your already formidable skill set. Best advice i can give though, is choose a better starting kit

YES WE are joe as it took me all my time to finish an push myself to finish that big hornet but now im pleased i did as she looks good lit up on her shelf an the same with the big hustler again i was thinking can i build it as its warped but then the moddler in me that stubbon streak takes over lol as patince is one of my strong points to get the model built or it would nag at me for ever as ive never given up on a model an im finding that again on this F16 that TAMYIA has in my opinion OVER ENGINENEERED IT but im getting there with it
chrisb
