Exclamation Engine nacelle- part 2
continued.

The engine inlet cone is glued in place to the forward nacelle to match. The kit parts are a bit short in this location .

insert the forward half of the frame and glue and glue in place

The aft frame has to be cut a bit more ( in the center ) to allow it to be slipped in aft. Also the rear frames need to be cut back a bit around the exhaust area

I added 4 small card stock parts on the inside to support the glueing of the nacelles to the wings

the aft area is ambiguous, however it will be covered by an aft fairing, so it makes no difference
