dry fitted the wings to the fuselage and discovered that I needed a spacer in the cowl area to ensure the fit was just right and that things lined up correctly.

...and some pics of the rear fuselage and tail join....working on getting this to look just right too...filling and sanding and rescribing of some panel lines...

Looks like a step is the worst part of the tail fit Wayne.The panel lines look like with a smidgen of work will be ok esp after paint and decals.Cheers
