These instructions really leave a lot of ambiguity so I am just trying to fit them as well as possible. I had to sand the wheelbays backing to paper thin and also sand out the wings until they were nearly translucent to get them to close over the resin parts
The amount of sanding, snipping, and dry fitting that had to happen for these pieces to fit was no small task. More resin I think was removed than remains on the actual parts. I am still not 100% confident it will all go together
I ended up leaving the sidewalls off the cockpit because the two half's of the fuselage just wouldn't close. I have sanded the plastic part nearly paper thin to make as much room as possible too but it just wouldn't fit. With how closed up it is it will be hard to tell anyway but it was still frustrating. I will probably be gluing the canopy closed though on this one.
