A lil CA and paint will eventually cover that though and final sizing isn't done yet since it appears those four lil "pads/squares" which protrude out aren't quite the same from inner to outer. .

Elmers' brand wood filler, Don. That's what I use to remove the irregularities, and small imperfections that superglue can't. The big plus is that you don't need a solvent like actone,or lacquer thinner to remove it, it's soft, and it's waterbased. This stuff dries hard as a rock, and has very little shrinkage, so you can use it for gap filling, and any areas where superglue can't be simply applied, then sanded flat. A lot of people don't know that just because they've sanded a superglue spot down that it isn't perfectly smooth. I used to be one of them. It's hard to see if there is a tiny bit of unevenness in a part, but I use Elmers' applied with an old credit card like Bondo - the two part resin, not the red spot putty. There're no toxic fumes, and it can be washed out of clothing unlike solvent based products.
