Very nice looking build that - it looks to be a nice kit.

Everything was on course a week and a half ago but I ended up with an unplanned few days working away. I put a few hours in yesterday but the inner engine nacelles are the first major set back I've had with this kit. Even with a fair bit of fettling they're still a terrible fit!

That's a shame; will a couple of extra days help you finish?
Best wishes

Sorry Iggie I'm working lateshifts for 3 days and only day off this week including the weekend is Thursday. My odd shifts in a reactive industry are my GB killer!
