Right engine nacelle glued
Here is the engine glued on. Make sure the interlocking spar from the engine matches the wing tip spar. Once glued, place the model on a flat surface with the correct positioning of the engine and let dry for an hour or more before lifting it.

Outer engine fin
Here is the short assembly of the outer stubby engine fin. Only addition is that I added small inner card to keep the shape.

Left engine
The left engine nacelle is a mirror image of the right nacelle
  However...... I am not sure if the scoops and bumps are supposed to be mirrored because the engine accessories and services are the same regardless of left or right side. So I believe those should have been on the same side for both nacelles. Since I don't have good close up reference, I do not know which is right, so I left it as the kit designer has it. In any case it is a small detail that is not important in the scheme of this nice model. Isaac

Nice job on the nacelles, I do like the weathered look on the kit. It adds to the realism.

Nacelle to wing fillet
One last part is to glue the fillet for the engine nacelle to the wing.

Model is done-short of landing gear
At this point the model is done. All that is left is the landing skid, wheels and small number of probes.
Here it is so far.         Note: You can almost stop here if you want to display it in the flying position. Just build the main skid and glue it in the stowed position. For the tip skids ( pogo sticks ), just close the doors. Same for the tiny rear wheel. but.... I will build it with the gear deployed on the ground. Isaac

It does look great, Isaac. Those fillets look good too. No difficult shaping with those.
