I got a wee dual language Italian/English book on this beastie, it's an intriguing one; used a piston engine to drive the compressor, which can be seen underneath the aircraft in the pics above.

Thanks nuuumannn
those are cracking photos. Nos 4 & 5 are very useful as I wasn't sure how far the cone projected out of the exhaust. No 1 also helps me to position the compressor fan. Being a slightly crude short run kit you are left to position the internals by guesswork and most photos I have seen are side on shots.
Made some progress. Cockpit is horribly crude but the canopies will be closed so should get away with it. The wing trailing edges were very thick so I have thinned them down with a scalpel. The compressor resin casting was several mm too big and took plenty of sanding to get it to fit.
No worries, Stu, the rear cone was moveable, so I'm sure whatever position you put it, it'll look ok. The compressor could be clearly seen in the intake throat aft of the bullet, I don't know if the kit has provision for that, but you could make a compressor front.

Shut the fuselage which wasn't easy the left hand fuselage half was a little warped. I had to dunk it in warm water then hold it flat against a flat surface till it was cold. It got most of the kink out.
