I'm currently building the Academy F14 1/144 scale and have encountered some misalignment issues between the cockpit and main fuselage. Any thoughts on filler vs plastic to correct the gaps and misalignment?

brent,
It all depends on the size of the gaps. In 1/144 scale it can't be very big. Still, Prefer to fill with scraps of sheet plastic, the blend with Green Stuff or CCA glue.
