This is a ragged mess of putty to fill those wide gaps. Should sand down just fine though

PRIMED

Just have to fix that alignment issue on the last pic....didn't realize it turned out so bad
 
Mmmm, can smell the fumes!!! ;D Always a fun part of the job!!! Can't wait for some color!! ;)
 
Well, started to paint today, before I got called in to work to deal with my "problem". that being one of my coworkers having a mental breakdown and driving our government vehicle off a small pier and then was tazed by the police, resulting in him being in the asylum now....All in all, not too bad for 15 minutes work after I had to ungunk and overhaul my HP-CS.

More to come in the following days
 
It seams the local Licker population as had a lot of fun with the sides of the Chopper. Lickers are the bane of my resident evil playing lol
 
Thats's exactly the kind of damage I was going for. Glad to see someone spotted the reference :) If only I could find a 1:35 scale Licker to accompany the Rooftop helipad base I'm starting to construct
 
Took the time and completed the entire fuselage, weaponry, and tail/main rotors. Gonna let it cure for a day or two since my schedule flipped around again due to the "problem" I described earlier.
