Well the wing join went surprisingly well, so I'll call off my accusation of over-engineering in that case but...
Oh the three piece cowlings! What a fight! Most definitely over-engineers. But got there in the end, if only just.

[PaulBradley]

Yes, those three-piece cowls are really a pain, and only just fit around the engines. Mine fell apart once - all that hard work undone....

[Softscience]

They may be challenging (sort of), but you met the challenge, and surpassed it. Feels pretty good, huh?

[Dazzled]

They certainly look like they were worth the effort

[skypirate]

Would it be easier assembling the cowlings before positioning the assembly over the engine (and before the engine is one the wing; like a 'power egg')?

You showed a lot of patience,I whould have given up and binned the Kit in frustration.

Airfix Fairey Fulmar on the workbench. I've had issues with the demarcation of upper and lower camo colours as the deep panel lines are subject to paint bleed, even using a cocktail stick to try and push the masking tape into the grooves. A lot of touch up work I guess.

[DavidWomby]

Nice. Don't see many Fulmars built!

Thanks. I've been out of action for a while due to an operation for Pancreatic Cancer.

Hey, Julian - good to see you back!

Thanks Paul. I've missed the Group. I've been in hospital for a while for an operation for Pancreatic Cancer. Now just able to sit back at the modelling table again

Ouch I trust that all is well now and that you are fully recovered

[Softscience]

Very good to see you back! Very sorry to hear that you had to have an operation. I hope you're recovering well.

Firstly : it's great to have you back among us.

So sorry to hear that it's taken something so serious to get you back to workbench. Wish you a speedy recovery mate!
