One unintended consequence of gluing the gun covers on at this stage is that the wing uppers will not fit onto the fuselage if attached to the bottom half. As a result, I've had to glue the uppers to the fuselage first, which had the added benefit of being able to make sure the seam is as clean as possible. The patient is in traction as we speak:

Fingers crossed that the lower half will go on smoothly but I see no reason why not. Thanks for stopping by.
