Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 16A FIX!




I don't know how this happened. In handling the model, I broke off a small piece of the tapered leading edge of a wing fin.




I used some Carpenter's Wood Filler to fill the broken edge. I would have just glued the broken piece back in lace but I couldn't find it. The CWF wasn't the thinned stuff in my plastic jar, I used some from the lid that was a little thicker.



The filled area is so small, I was concerned the filler wouldn't stay in the leading edge. I used a light coat of super glue applied with a toothpick to lock the fill in place.

Careful sanding followed with 400 grit on a block
