YOU LIAR!!!! 
Here you are telling us all the you're "not that talented", and that your're "not artistic" - yet you pass one of the hardest tests for becoming an architect?! I knew I saw art in your building techniques! 
That's impossible to hide, Doug. I don't know why you're so modest - you obviously have the talent, and wherewithall to do what we all do here.
You're one of us, like it, or not! If you knew nothing about art - you wouldn't be interested in architectual design elements, or modeling. I know that architecture is more than art, but only a little - remember art is a major influence in a lot of old world design, not just structural stability. What you do is very difficult for most people to understand, but when I was a kid I wanted to be an architect, but I felt that music was my calling, and so I gave up on art, and building design, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate either one anymore!
I would've used superglue gel to seal that crack along the seam of that Raider. It just depends on how hard it would be to fix it without a lot of reworking. Superglue is very hard, and brittle to sand even if it's applied to styrene. It has a tendency to fall out of large areas when drilling, or sanding next to a repair spot. Maybe Elmers' woodfiller would be more appropriate for something like this?
