Here's some more progress after tonight.
The fit of the tail planes is quite loose so it's not easy getting them straight and exactly horizontal. So I had to improvise this set up which worked OK.
Note to self: Read the label stupid!. Last night I clamped one of the nacelles to the wing with Quik-grips and applied a few strokes of what I thought to be my ProWeld glue. I didn't discover until tonight after doing the second nacelle that I was putting on copious amounts of this oddly-performing liquid crap to make the proper bond. Tunrs out that ProWeld styrene glue and Solv-a-Set decal solutions have similar sized bottles and I was gluing everything with decal solution Oh well - good thing I wasn't applying ProWeld to my decals. That could have been trouble.......
Here's the fit issue I was talking about at the nacelle/wing joint. Needless to say, Solv-a-Set didn't Solv-a-Gap. Putty time!
Finally, one of the nacelles with the nice sidewall details glued in place. I drilled out the little holes in the ribs based on references.
More later
