Thanks Guys, more happening, when the cowl was assembled I noticed it was a bit narrower than the main fuselage where they came together, so I added some internal reinforcing plasticard strips and then created a Plasticard internal frame support to allow the cowling to spread slightly and match the main fuselage when attached....worked real nice....:)
Also the lower intake was not fixed in place in the previous photo and removed to allow access through the front if it was necessary....it wasnt..! so happy with the result. Also prepped and fitted the vertical rudder and horizontal stabs....wings next...!

My first look at a Fine Molds model. From the photos the kit looks nicely detailed and molded. Although it seems a bit of persuasion was needed it does look like it is going together well. Looking forward to the finishing out.
