After several test fittings, I realized that I needed to remove more plastic from the kit part. The back deck had to be removed. Now the cockpit fits perfectly!

Nice catch! I guess you could've also sawed off the deck from the resin part.

Glad to see you got the pit problem worked out

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Sweet!
I presume that you will be painting the sills PE before your glue it in place?

Wow, it doesn't look like there is much room for PE sills. Will it get in the way of the fit of the clear parts?

Thanks guys!

Yes the PE parts are already painted. I plan on having the canopies open so the PE sills shouldn't be a problem.
