Ok so here's and update.....
Gun cover seems to be cocked off to the left side.
A bit of force
and a lot of sanding
and some thin stips of plastic to as as a stepping stone!
and it comes under control.
Wings
Top and bottom miner issues.
Putty work...... ANYBODY HAS FIVE GALLONS OF BONDO??????
Used a thin strip of plastic rod for this but not shown yet.....
Same here, seems the engine did not set down in bouth troughs.
outside not bad.
The engine pods fit together like s.....
So all in all I love modeling......... (Er sanding and conforming it to my will.

Bottom fwd wing fuselage mate
After wing fuselage mate took a lot of work but was good.

I guess I should do and update.
When I installed the engines there was a very large step from the wing to the droop down at the upper aft of the engine. In trying to take it down and have it do the curved droop, I ended up removing all the plastic from the wing side and was left with a hole. I had to use stock plastic to fill it in and then a gallon of Tamiya white putty to fill that in and then super gle after.
After all the hacking and slashing and gnawing of teeth was done I went to prescribing panel lines. Using these "Mad" PE saws it was not bad.
Useing some panel liner I rand the panels confirming I got them cut......
