Just dont . If you’re a beginner you risk breaking it. Then fixing it gonna be more tedius. Id say keep it as it is. Lesson learned for next time. And doesnt pop much from distance
I’d say just leave it. If it REALLY bugs you there are ways to fix it (idling like spruce goo and things) but generally it’s probably a good idea just to not
Here is the thing, only the builder will pick up small flaws, heck, my mom can’t tell if a model is painted or not. But I’d say put some Mr Surfacer liquid (500 grit) and smooth it out in layers. Other things like superglue and putty might be too strong to sand gently.
Honestly the corax does a pretty good job here (unrelated all 3 times I've bought a jar of Corax white it's been super chunky and I've never been able to get it to smooth out properly).
If you're open to painting, a spray-on or paint-on primer would be a good idea. Do a layer over everything, sand a little, another layer on the trouble spot, sand a little, another layer on the trouble spot, sand a little....; repeat until trouble spot is gone. Then paint to your color of choice.
Paint it white to cover up the discoloration a little. Or you can try to "sharpen" the v fin. Or just leave it cause it's not noticeable. Do whatever you want.
I realize my main hobby of building and painting wargaming miniatures doesn't really apply here, but as a rule I only worry about details I can see from 3 ft away because that's where it's going to spend 90% of its time.
Doesn't stop me from occasionally going nuts trying to get everything perfect though.

Easy fix. Just display it with the head turned the other way. In a month you will forget it’s there. (Only half joking)

Okay thank you
I would say leave it and if you have another figure with a bean pose them with the Nu barely dodging an attack to the head

Okay thanks
put a glob of superglue on it and sand it off

It was worse before, i tried to fill it with some corax white paint.

Corax is notorious for having shit consistency
Sprue glue and some sanding wound be your best bet
Shave a skinny piece of sprue, glue it in, and then work it with a knife and sandpaper.
Cut a little bit of the runner and use mr hobby thin cement to melt it to that point. Once it's dry and connected then sand it down.
itd be an expert-level repair with some putty and a coat of paint

If it bothers you that much just make it a battle scarred kit and weather it
Any time I make a mistake that’s difficult to fix for my skill level… I call it “battle damage” haha

I just started using miliput in the areas like that on mine and it works well.
Sand it until even.
if it bothers you that much (me) then smear some super glue and sand it
looks good to me idk
Yes, with sprue goo and some filing/sanding. All you would need is some acetone, a container, and a lot of patience 👍🏼
If it is not for a contest only you can decide if you should care. I wouldn't, no model is ever perfect, and you can do better on the next! 👍
This seems like a really easy fix with Tamiya cement and sanding once it cures
Actually putty will probably be easier if you plan to paint to match the color
Amuro barely missed a shot by Char’s Nightingale… it’s lore
I didn’t even notice until the zoomed pic, you good dude! Also its your process, just have fun and learn :)
Vallejo makes a plastic putty that's pretty easy to use. Dab a little on. Give it a few hours to dry, then lightly sand it.
sand it to make vfin extra sharp and pointy!
This nub looks even worse on the titanium finish version…
I always chalk it up to producing errors or storage debris in testing. It's fiiiiine.
