Hi.
Now understand.
To use all the filling, mix Tamiya putty + CA. Polishes into effect until it is okay. Also modified the order of gluing the fuselage.

The instructions show that the build part A17 + A16, then we make a part for a walk E4, then tail F7 + F6. At the end of fuselage glued to his tail.

I glue fuselage part A16 + F6 tail section ( left side ) then I make Fuslage part A17 + F7 tail ( right side ) Place glue fill and polishes, It`s eaiser.
glue finished at the end left and right sides and put part E4.
