High Tolga.
Take care to precisely align the air box. It's very easily brought on in a wrong angle.
Though you don't want to show the engine, note that it carries the magnet for the upper engine hood, i.e. you'll need it perfectly in place especially if you want to built the model with closed covers.

Thanks for the advices. I will not use the magnets..I will glue the covers with Cyanoacrylate.
I am aware of the problem, hope that this stage will be resolved smoothly.
I don t know why Tamiya did not add just a single nose part for version with closed engine covers.? Meaningless and also cruelly..

Nice sir, very nice indeed.

Thanks Erich & Simon
Wings and fuselage came together.Fitting is excellent indeed.
