You must be a very careful builder.

I agree it is an early time to attach the air-brakes, A couple of times when I have worked on it they have bent out of place!.

Well it has been a while since my last post, But I now present you with more build.
The pictures show the back section where the engines go. I had a bit of a problem with these two sections but when the model is finished I think it will be ok.
Comments welcome.

Well here it is the next update, Today I added the engines which had a slight problem because the engines didn't fit that well. So I had to disassemble what I did and then put the engines in.
But that was the only major thing that happened.

try to fix the nozzle of the engines to make them more round.

you can put washer inside the nozzle, close to the outside, without glue.
than spread a little mount of super glue at the extent of the nozzle.
wait 1-2 minutes and than release the washer.

the super glue become hard and give to the part a good shape that stay forever.

i usually use this method with parts that don't have washer, like nozzles,
Air intake inlet et cetera.

Started to do the elevators, In the instructions they labelled the parts wrong but that wasn't a major problem.
