You mean this? It looks very close to closing. Can you trim from the kit part?

That's an idea. I'd have to take the PE roof off and trim the bay. But wouldn't that throw off the height of the nose gear?

Can you remove the nose gear bay and trim on the bottom edge of it? I'd hate to muss up the flat roof of the bay.

I might be able to. Let me check.

Nope. It's glued in there good. But in my attempt to remove the gear bay, the roof came off.

Well I guess that decides that.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!
You do nice work with brass. Brass has been frustrating me lately. Your work in the gear bays with the brass is very nice. And I’m glad you were able to get that fit issue sorted.

Hi! Remember me?? Think I got the cockpit and nose gear issue resolved to a place where I can work with it. I had to re-glue the cockpit in.

Got the lower front fuselage and rear attached. Intakes are together as well.
