So I did a major test fit of the fuselage halves with the lower inserts all taped together. Ok, nothing that I can't handle. Famous last words. In the second pic, the spot that the intake on the right (which is the left intake) sits is more forward than the left one. Which of course is bad because obviously the intakes won't be the same. Not sure how to fix that.

Meanwhile, the fit of the wings seems decent on top. The underside, yeah it's bad. Gaps everywhere.

Going to be watching how you fix all that. Hopefully it will be easier than it looks

Unless you plan on displaying this on top of a mirror, any major seam repair is best done on the bottom rather than the top… :hmm:

I honestly have no idea. The intake problem is the worst. Not sure how to fix that.

Wow, that looks like a tough fix. Do you file/sand/carve the fuselage or the inlet piece? The world wants to know....

I think I may have found a fix. Looks like I can cut a little off the front of the splitter plate to make it work. We'll see.

Reading articles on how to build the Monogram Prowler. Lots of good info I can use. One even mentions the intake issue that I have.

Well, I’m sure that with your skill level, you’ll appropriately deal with any challenging issues such as the intake, as you encounter them.
