Thanks swergio.

Drilled out the other 2 exhausts now, you can see each has an ugly seam line running around the centre which needs to be removed and also assembled the other 2 Starboard nacelles...dry fit done...looks ok...

Nice work Wayne.

Good find George…………………………………so come-on Mike, YOU can slip this one in before builds end

Checked out the site, even talked by phone to the guy. This is the vaccuformed kit I looked at earlier in the build, fuselage, wings, tail, everything else has to be scratch built. Even bulkheads stringers for the kit to hold its shape AND it takes him 8 weeks to put the kit together. WAY, WAY beyond my skill level

Been a bit busy last few days , but been plugging away, have now added the new plasticard strips to replace the broken missing pieces on the front cowl section,mentioned previously.
These new plasticard 'inserts' have been raised slightly so i can use the edges as a guide to rescribe the panel lines on each side, then i will sand them flush.
Next item on the agenda was to fill the gaps all around the 2 piece exhaust outlet sections, superglue was carefully added to each section, cured and filing and sanding commenced, 9 per cowl, 27 sections in all, this took a bit of time over the past 3 days so as not to mess up the raised exhaust outlets, final shot shows some paint over the seams to check all is as it should be...a few spots needed extra attention but all good now!
