that looks awesome Glen! I have found there is always some gaps no matter how carefully you roll the tanks....I think its more noticeable on the all white tank versions..something about the alternating black and white tanks diverts the eye from the gap...but regardless, the kit is still a very cool looking rocket. I think even on the real 1bs there was a gap of sorts.
looking great so far!!

Many thanks, this build just keeps getting more fun and interesting. since I have all white tanks, I brushed some white paint, a little leftover Testor's bottle from another build, over the spider beams to help blend with any gaps between the tanks.

I did a few dry test fits with the tank tubes rolled from the different wraps, and decided to go with the detailed wraps from Rosco Racer, they look really nice. And there are some gaps between the tanks, but I tried my best to make them as uniform as possible. The one tank over the engine clip I sliced a slot out of it so it would sit even with the other tanks.
