Thanks Guys, fitted some of the canopy panelling and added the nose section including plenty of weight!.
Discovered the nose section was oversized, about 1mm top and bottom so sanded back the mated surfaces until the lip was much reduced,, will file and sand the rest to blend it in...
Yeah me too, but these are the challenges...got most of it blended back today, will tidy it up tomorrow and on to the next bit, i think I put more than enough weight in that nose section, hope the new undercarriage leg holds it all up...
