I'll sometimes make a groove for a half round to strengthen a seam.
Dry test fit.
Added trunk and sides to the hatch.
I often overlay the reference and the model to check fit. Notice the error at the bottom of the window. I added a little frosted tape with hatch marks for a measurement..
A second view of the model and a reference photo confirms the error. See the frosted tape with the pencil marks (middle of trunk)?
I call this the ugly part of modeling. I use Elmer's White Wood Filler.
Sanded with a black nail file board from the dollar store.
Added some Evergreen #240 half round for the window gasket.
Teenie-weenie miter pieces for the gasket radius.
The three pieces fit into place.
The driprail and that's about it.
