So, back on the bench.
Photo one, warning warning! Airfix! The tail wheel assy (1) has a long thin piece
attached to the spru, and looks like it should be cit off............ NOT....................
If you do, you will need to find a round piece 2.4Dia (2), drill a hole 1.4Dia for the
end of the tail wheel assy to fit in and drill out the 1.0 hole in the housing to 2.4Dia
and glue that 2.4Dia piece in it to support the tail wheel....... Just like I did!!!!!!!!

Now again in photo one, notice part (3) which is attached to the tail wheel housing,
I had to saw this off because the aforementioned faring, last post, extends onto this.
Photo three shows these glued in place. I used a PE saw.

Still thinking how to pull off the fairing...... couple of images ratling round in my head!

Agree with George and thanks for the tail wheel warning, I've just checked mine out and see what you mean. Easy done.
