Nice progress, Reinhard @grimreaper

For sure you will get that solved, Reinhard @grimreaper
The 'particles' at the nose, is that filler?

Looking good, @grimreaper!

Very realistic shades, my friend @grimreaper!

having built the 2006 Italeri T-6G edition, this 2014 edition is worse in quality, more flash, more fit problems
had to find out, that the landing light covers were to small and didn´t fit right
gonna simulate the lights with inserted plastic rods and the covers with clear duct tape

A detail too look out for is the earlier more heavily framed canopy, not the T-6G style https://www.alamy.com/sk-16a-harvard-t-6-se-fub-of-the-swedish-air-force-historic-flight-image216567545.html
