I’m working on my resin Bv-215 today and am finding just a few little bubbles here and there.
Gunna make like the city road crew and start filling some potholes.
Do you use MicroBalloons for that, Swanny ?
OK, that’s my tax dollars at work, break’s over, get back to work.[:D]
didn’t think I could see you huh?[8)]
In the words of Lawrence Welk, " Turn offa da Bubble Machine". Gee, guess I’m really dating myself with that one.

Not quite sure what I’m going to use for that. Some of them will be filled with super glue, not sure about the rest yet.
Those look like pin-holes to me, I usually fill them with thinned putty and than sand smooth. Pinholes like that are not that incommon on resin kits.
Pesoanlly, I avoid CA on resin as much as possible.
Yeah…these little bubbles often appear when the resin collects a little moisture.
I fill these pinholes with thinned spot putty (a putty used by the guys who spray paint full sized cars) or with paint…I brush it on, working it into the holes, wipe off the excess, and allow the paint to dry. Takes several applications of the paint, but it saves the surrounding surface detail from being damaged - as often happens when I use CA and then sand.
Hmmm… you could paint the plane well weathered and rusted, as if it has been abandoned in for a decade or so. The bubbles would simulate rust eaten through various areas of the plane. Just trying to figure out alternative ways to make the best of deck you’ve been dealt. There’s a pony in every pile of horse [XX]
oi vey, talk about lookin’ like swiss cheese…yeesh.
The only problem with the rust concept (tho, good and interesting idea) is rusted through metal is much more ragged. Personally, I think thinned bondo or putty would do it for you in a case like this.
or even durnhams putty or plaster - real easy stuff to work with
OUCH…those look bad. I have no ideas on how to fix that, but am interested in the fix, in case I run across the same problem. Let us know what you do and post some pics. This will be a lesson for all of us.

Swanny,it looks like you got your work cut out for you.Knowing you,you will have a masterpiece after you are done.May I suggest in trying rubber cement on those holes due to its flexibleity and it is easy it cut smooth when dry.This might cut a whole lot of work for you.Digger
