A bit more done on Precious...
Since the cockpit opening is too large (it goes too far down the fuselage sides and too far forward), I simply cut out the offending area along wood panel lines and will fill it in later with the correct sized opening. Not too tough and it will really make things look much better.
I also opened up the area over the guns and engine. Just for fun, I stuck in the WNW engine to see how things will look.
I have to say, with an engine in there, it's starting to look legitimate! I'll keep plugging a way a bit at a time. I think I'll start with the interior now since placing those pieces in will start keying the correct location for everything else and make me feel like I'm making headway...
Cheers to all,
Dan
