Now then Spider get those cockpit sides square - bit of cardboard and some glue should do it.   :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

After taking the model to the monthly meeting last night, I now know that I haven't altered the cockpit sides, so I've now rectified that,

Moving on to the exhaust, the kit one is a bit too small so needed beefing up a bit,
