I'm still building the Dragon 1/48 Me 262 Mistel and I found out yesterday that the supports (struts?) for the Grossebombe don't match at all. It has 5 supports: 1 under the nose, 2 under the wing root and 2 outside of the engines. Since the holes I had to drill were accurately marked on the wing inside I think the outside supports are just too long, but before cutting them I'd like to have another opinion. Moreover, the outer supports have a good match with the nose one, while the inner supports make the bomb move
1mm back so that the nose hole doesn't match the nose support.Here some pics to make the situation clearer :o)
I thought of properly re-shaping the inner struts, but they have to stand the weight of 2 planes and a lot of steel so i'm a little afraid of weakening them... :o)
Another question: the panel lines of the real bomb should have been filled with putty. Should I fill them too, or just paint the putty filling over them?
TIA :o)
