The canopies fit perfectly. No issues there at all. They're not glued in yet.

Excellent fit of the parts! No filler used yet?

Thanks guys. There's some areas that are gonna need some filler and sanding. Especially on the bottom at the front. The intakes are gonna need a lot of work as well.

I like that red tail, too.

is the nose/fuse assembly just a butt join or are there tabs that slot into place?

Great to see a Tornado being built, nice work so far, and a good choice of scheme.

Thanks all!

@Owl- There's tabs at the bottom but they don't help much.

I always try and find a special scheme, CAG jet, or something different so that it's not just a grey jet.
