That's for sure, I know I'd have been glueing and clamping that wing then wondering what to do about the big gap in the nacelles

Ya got that right....

Mistakes mean doubling up on work....I try to avoid that at all costs...rather be going forward than backwards....that's for sure.

Great work Wayne, and cheers for the brilliant idea re the leading edge fitment! I will use this myself in the future when I do my one!

Thanks very much Guys, while i have not posted any updates in a few days been chippin' away...engines have a basic paint job added the bulged fairing under the wing where the Wing Gunner sits. drilled the port exhausts and assembled the pieces and filled and sanded the edges of each this was a necessary pain in the butt....assembled the port engine covers and filed or scrapped out all the window ports on both fuselage halves as most had some inner edge flash that needed to be removed as you can see from the closeup.
So I am not far off having both wings ready for some paint.

Great stuff. Have you ever been contacted by model companies Wayne? To build the test shot for the box sides?

That she is! Great work Wayne. (a little disappointing though to see the amount of rework I'll have to do aswell, considering she's a post 2000's quality kit)

Id say you could probably slap it together without the care and attention that wayne puts into it, and still have a decent looking model, just not a detail correct model. Thats one of the reasons why watching Wayne bring it together is just so cool.....
