Thank you Andy and Karl. Togetherness achieved. The upper cowl piece is dry fit but flawless and a test fit of the lower wing/fuselage reveals the same.
Getting the wing parts ready for glue. Bomb rack holes have been drilled as was the hole in the right cowl. Possibility of spritzing shortly

I'm glad I did it first not fun. I tried sprue but this time I couldn't get it to work so I used Mr. Surfacer. For those that don't have the putty diagrams, these are what I used
Yeah, i pretend i dont see those or know about the wing prep !
And here how it looked like ...

I think that's my issue I always try the wher I can get a spring clamp and the twist and turn on my. Makes me think I'm Chubby Cheker.

Your doing well there George and those panel line diagrams are good, I'd down loaded them a couple of weeks back after reading much discussion about the panel lines. Seems there are many schools of thought on existence or non existence.

The clamp ends need to be perfectly aligned. I usually skootch the rubber ends around a bit until the twisting stops.
