Yep, good progress. Quite a seam to sand down, but shouldn't be too hard to do.

Here new update, Hussa!
Ive filled and sanded the wing joins, there was quite a gap even after lifting the wings angle.
I sanded down the seam, In the photos it still kinda looks like its there though, same on the underside
And Finally Ive started on the undercarriage and sanding down the munitions, I didn't realise how tedious it could be!
^This last pic, (The front on) you can see the different curves on the leading edge of the wing
Also, How can I put the pics I post into an attachment box, so that their not sprawled all over the page?

Cool! looking good, your right about that front on shot, the wing difference is more pronounced in the shot from above.

Good stuff. I suspect the kit wing parts are warped - a tough fix that would normally best be done before gluing the halves together. The gap at the wing roots might have been reduced by putting one or two pieces of sprue as spreaders in the fuselage before final assembly but this may not have been possible if there are internal bulkheads that fix the width.
Not sure how to answer your attachment question.

Looking good so far, and I agree with Andy about the wing - almost certainly warped, always a difficult fix.
Oscar Wilde would probably have said "There's only one thing worse than lots of sanding, and that's more sanding" (With apologies to Monty Python!).
Re the photos, do you mean getting them into a required order? If so, once you've clicked the upload button in the manage attachments panel, the pics will appear in the box below. If not in the order required, then they can be 'dragged', with the mouse, to the required positions.
