Well finally the fuselage is closed up. It was very warped. I managed to use my heat gun to get the halves to meet but I got it a little too hot in some spots and the plastic slumped. Add more filler, putty, bondo, mud etc. At this point I'm going to withdraw this from the group build as there is no way to complete it in time even with an extension. Plus I think I will mothball it for a while. Work on something new simple and less brain pain ! I knew this kit would be a challenge but wow !

It's good you've got it this far Graham and it will be sad not to see it completed and by all means, it's better to mothball it and pick it back up again when in the mood rather than trying to rush the finish. 
What Vic said...good advice...!

I agree, and hope to see it done at some point in the future.

With the guys. Maybe a Zombie of Zombied Zombies GB?
Good work so far!

Well I'm still picking away at this built only in a much more back burner style mode. I can't mothball it. I am surrounded by mothballed projects as it is ! I hate not completing things ! So as it goes, the masterful 5 piece 3 bladed props usually molded in one piece. I mad a little cardboard jig to set the blades up symmetrical. They do not fit well into the spinners and I'm sure after all the cleaning up they are smaller to scale but I'm going with it !

Fiddly but nice to see you're not giving up

Nice idea with the simple jig as well.
Like your plan of attack...!
Nicely done so far!

Glad you're keeping at it. It will be a pleasure to see the finished model.

Messing up, 4 halve engine nacelles. Two labelled "A" two labelled "B". I glued A to A and B to B. Nothing in the one sheet instructions. Looking now at the orientation of the nacelles on the wing I think this is where I screwed up maybe ? At any rate it's fixable, just more fiddling around on this seemingly never ending kit ! Note: Wings are not attached yet, just placed. I needed this piece of wood to hold the wings level
