Benetton B188 front suspension build question

[racer93]

Hey all,

A question I have had is when there are pieces of the cowling "trapped" within the suspension, is there a way of building this without having the gap between two pieces? Look at the area I'm talking about in this pic and you'll see it if you're not familiar with the kit or most late 80's kits from tamiya:

Thanks for the help!

Ok, this is not a bad idea. I had thought of supergluing them, but didn't want to risk it.

I'm sure some of the more advanced builders around here have done something like this, haven't you guys? I was simply curious to see how most view this type of "problem."
