JR21 Thunderbird 3 conversion update

After ordering some prezzies after work I decided to try and fill the gaping hole in the side of the JR21 Thunderbird 3's lower hull.  Using copious amounts of Plastic Weld followed by superglue I was able to insert plastic card into the cavity, blocking it off.  I then added a couple more layers to bring the level up closer to the surface ready for my first layer of Revell Plasto filler.

Apologies for the photo - taken with my mobile late at night.



I am now much more confident that this is going to work, and I can have a decent-size model of TB3 without forking out for an expensive resin kit.  Old broken toys can have their uses too.
