Like I said in a previous post, I managed to get the wing straight now. I used Aleenes tacky glue instead of white PVA and that did the trick. I used two rulers and double the wing formers to get the wing dead straight.
The tail section was easy and went together well. I just made a small curve in the bottom parts of the vertical tails to fit them better over the curvature of the horizontal tail.
The engine nacelles were looking tricky but they weren't at all. Now for the three jigs coming with the model there was a little problem with how to keep them in place and straight. So I made slots in the jigs and used a piece of thick cardboard to have them lined out.
The nacelles went on super smoothly and have a great fit.
For a model you haven't test-built, it is a nice one, Gary! Really well measured out.

Up next, the struts and props.
