It's a big beast. P36 for size comparison

The kit engine cowling is too short front to back, probably a consequence of the weedy little kit engine.

I have made two options out of spares box bits I will knock both into some sort of shape and go with the best.

A lot of sanding and filling, I think this model is half filler half styrene. Still lots of sanding to go.
