I've added some decals,the crosses courtesy of Alan,the rest are what I had already cut out.
'Some artists renditions show a turret to the rear of the cockpit ,so I've added one,it breaks up an otherwise large undetailed space.
I took the top of a toothpaste tubepacked it with putty and sanded to shape.It would have looked better with twin guns,but I had enough trouble getting just one 'square with the church'The barrel is a piece of cocktail stick.

Still waiting for the next model to arrive,so I thought I'd tidy up the display.I bought some glass rods and a cutter of eBay and cut three legs for each shelf.That way if they aren't spot on there won't be any wobble.I used a thick c/a and small clamps with steel blocks to hold the legs in place.
They loaded in the wrong order for some reason? They are obviously 1,3,2

Still waiting,Shapeways will dispatch it on the 16th of April.There are still 3 more models to come in this series of powered Horten wings,so more display space will be needed.To that end I've had a glass shelf cut to fit against the chimney breast and arranged some lighting.
After the XIIIb there will be the IX(Gotha229) and the two other mooted variants of the XVIII.
