Thanks!
further work, added the ejector chute pieces, filling and sanding necessary for both also fixed the front end and added the nose cap for a nice clean fit.
another little fix was to redo the circular rivets on the large lower panel, some of which all but disappeared when filling and sanding the joint line, so I grabbed a suitably sized small brass rod filed the edge to a champfered point and then carefully pressed and turned it into the plastic to resurect the circular rivets, to maintain the consistency I went along both the front and rear lines to ensure they were all the same....

Thanks Guys, for looking in, got what appears to be all of the stuff sorted on and around the nose now, have added the rudder so that just about takes care of the fuselage now.
next step is to add the wing assembly...

Marvelous work Wayne. All that nose work would turn me off getting the Hobby Boss kit. The Tamiya 262 went together real nice.

Well Andy, wanted to try one to see what's what, it's not that bad just need a bit of extra attention here and there...
Ok on to the next stage, I like to do fuselage and wings separate then bring them together, noticed in the early stage a little item that would interfere with the wing to fuselage fit so removed the obstruction and the fit went down well.
Also decided the rear section of the wing to fuselage needed a bit of support to ensure some strength seeing as though there was a slight gap in this area.
and now wings and tail in place....looks like an Me262 now!
