I have made a little progress on this. Overall I am very pleased with the fit, these sponsons were a very good fit on what could have been a tricky curve:
Contrast that with the front glazing piece:
The whole piece seems undersized. I don't think it is anything I have done as the fuselage fit is good & the side glazing pieces fit well.
The gap is smaller on the other side even though I concentrated on getting the nose piece squared to the fuselage.
I will see if I can squeeze it closer at the top once the glue dries at the bottom. It will still need some filler though, PVA should do it.
The only other slight issue I had was these 'Thingies' (sorry rotor heads - no idea what they are!) on the tail boom.
They look like handles but I can't imagine they are.
The holes needed to be drilled out which is not mentioned in the instructions.
Also, anyone know what colour this light (I'm assuming) should be?
On the whole though a pretty straight forward build so far with just the usual problems for a kit of this vintage.
The next thing I need to tackle is the door rails which look ridiculously oversized. I will refer to James's previous build for ideas.
