Cheers Hugh.

now the fuselage is together, i tried a trial fit to the wings....and rear section of the wing/fuselage section would not settle together. The rear bulkhead sits on the additional strip that fits to the lower section of the wings, rather odd that this would be a problem, checked my fit and the instructions and everyhing is where it should be??
Easy fix though...went to the high tech equipment box and nail clippers solved that problem...:D

also added the section behind the headrest with a couple of holes drilled for good measure.

Flashback to many years ago when I first built the kit shortly after it was released. My problem area as well and I believe everyone else's Wayne. I'm thinking I had a problem with the flaps in that area as well as I was going to build mine with the flaps up and they wouldn't seat properly. May have been a wing/fuselage fit problem but I can't remember.

I should be spending more time on the Whirlwind, but I keep picking this one up and doing bits...

Rudder assembly fitted, lower fuselage lights, lower scoop assembled and thinned the rear edge of the radiator covers too,
