So I started working on the plane today fixing a few issues.
One major issue needing addressed is filling the gaps were the gear legs attach to the fuselage.
When I throw the switch on the smoke system....the smoke is pulled up through the gear leg gaps and rolls out from the front cockpit.
I haven't really found a thread addressing this issue and I apologize if this topic has already been covered.

I was thinking about using a thin rubber material on the inside of the fuselage to seal everything up.
I'm open to suggestions.
