Got a start.

A little weight in the front.

Fuselage halves joined.

And the wings attached.

The fit wasn't too bad, just some sanding. There are some gaps however to be taken care of a little later.

Thanks, Boys.

Duke, I'll show you, Bro.

May I present, The Gaps.

Nothing major as you can see but there all the same.

Spent some time with the air intakes. Still need some work.

That's it for now.
