Yep. Paper CAN bend two ways at once!
Onto the engines. Like on most fuselage and other round shaped components, I don't like overlap joins so I cut off the printed tabs and add my own (a la Nobi). To me much neater- especially on small scale stuff like this.
The engines and cowl front on this are of the painted on relief type. I know some builders aren't a fan of this, but on 1/100 or smaller I don't have a problem with it. I glued these two front parts on to doublers to make a them a bit stronger.
I suspected the vee shapes that go around the leading edges were a bit too 'pointy' and was right. Carefully rounded them out a bit. Remember when doing adjustments like this- BABY STEPS.
All good.
