Kasia and I missed our train to Hel. This turned into a blessing in disguise. While in Gdynia waiting for the next train, we found a toy shop that had decal setting solution, which I have had a hard time finding elsewhere.
With my new sandpaper, I set to work smoothing out the putty on the bottom of the monocoque. Notice the grey lines, where the bottom of the monocoque didn't quite exactly sit flush with the top.
Then I smoothed out the top of the diffuser. See the grey dots, these are where the pins from the turning vanes underneath fit into the diffuser.
Here is a test fitting, it's not quite perfect, but it's a good as it's going to get until the lower sidepods are attached.
Later, I finally glued together the lower sidepods on both sides, and the roll hoop. Due to previous part preparation they slid together perfectly!
Looks great! I bet real F1 cars don't go together this easy.
