1/48 Tamiya P-51B Quick question

Should the circled areas be flush or is this gap evedent on the real thing? I am pretty sure it needs filling and sanding but I want to be sure. Thanks all.

If you are going to depict the door open, then I would fill it.

The only gap i would fill is the one in pic#2, because even with the door in the open position, unless someone actually pick’s it up and LOOK’S for it you can’t see it, but that’s just my[2c]

Same here. If the door was open it would look better. (To tell you the truth, when I see stuff like that even if it can’t be seen, I fix it anyway.)[:)]

I just finished Tamiya’s P-51B. The “first” gaps i left alone as you do not see it once the radiator door is installed. I filled the “second” gap. I filled easily.
