Thanks Gents, a little more progress and some filler and sanding will be required.
The front cowling looks pretty good glued in place.
Adding the top of the fuselage, I had to do some sanding down the height or else I would have ended up with a bulge just in front of the rudder. The sides of the top piece were a bit wider than the fuselage so a bit of scraping and filler.
I decide to glue the lower wing first to get it properly centered, and the upper wings followed.
The lower joints at the flaps and alerions have a sizeable gaps. I'll need to be a bit careful as the plastic is pretty soft and any sanding might take too much plastic off.
This M/C kit is going together okay, not the best kit but it's turning out to be a good exercise.
