1:12 Tamiya Porsche 910 :- 2- Engine block

Time to hit the powerplant on the Porsche.  The 2 engine halves were glued together & fitted the front of the engine, but went away from the instructions by adding the rear of the engine block ( part No. H1) to the engine. Did this to see if the join needed any sanding, & guess what? It did.

Using as coarse grade sanding pad I sanded the front & rear of the engine flat to the block then used plasto filler on the first fill/sand, then a medium superglue was put over the remaining filler.

I do this to allow the superglue to get into any little mirco pores in the filler & when dry/sanded I nearly always no join lines coming through & a glass like finish.

Another tip given was to put some paint over the sanded area & when turned under any light it will show up any area that still needs work.

This paint was then sanded off with a very fine grade sanding pad & washed/dried to remove any dirt or paint.
