Thank you for all the comments folks. I do know myself where the assembly and painting faults are on this build, but overall I was very pleased with the results.
The fit of the wings is particularly noteworthy with this kit - the way the thick struts sit in place and the wing attachments, you cannot go wrong. No jig needed, as long as the bottom wing sits OK you're always onto a winner.
I deliberately chose a Black Flight option to have a cowling like this.
