Is it really so difficult to fill a join line on a kit turret and then either blend the texture to match the rest of the turret or add a residual mould line where it wasn’t all ground off at the foundry/factory?



No, no its not difficult at all.

I saw this thread a few days ago and thought I would share pictures of the seam from an Easy Eight that's on display near my office. Hope this helps.
