I cut the upper part of the grille and glued it to the back of the lower part. This will serve as the rear edge, which will be a gide when filling with putty. |

| A mockup with a temporary roof to see how the body is progressing. |
 |

 |
| To close the front lower corner gaps, I will use putty. To prevent sticking to grille frame, I applied Humbrol Maskol (purple). |
 |
| Some more putty to be shaved later. |
