Well as promised here at last is some progress although not too much.
The fuselage is now together and the side cowlings added. As I'm going with the late version I've added the high tail option. A little sanding was required as there is no natural panel line where the top section is added.
The top section of the cowling is at present not glued as the exhaust stacks are not in place, I was hoping to work round this one and added them further down the line but they have to be inserted from the inside so will require masking at some point.
Not sticking to the instructions I've made a start on the nose cone and prop. Revell in their wisdom have split the nose cone where there is no seam and as a result once the props are fitted it will be nearly impossible to remove the join so some modification is required so the props can be added later.
