Been working on it and have managed to make it fit. I'm now working on the jet inlets and should have pictures of the inlets and a temp fit-up of all the major components tonight.
 
Latest update pictures:
Picture 1 A shot of the intake on the real thing I took a couple of weeks ago at the AFM
Picture 2 The intake out of the box. Rather clunky and un-aerodynamic looking
Picture 3 The intake after some work thinning the walls out with a needle file. Much improved but still in need of some filler at the separator plate
Picture 4 The test fitting of the major components after some work making the cockpit fit. Looks like it should work out Ok now

Good work Glenn and by chance I was just reading an article on this subject of thinning out areas to make them look more like the real thing, time consuming but in an area where your looking, well worth it.
