Thanks T! I have attached the wings to the fuselage...not without some fit issues. Filling and sanding ahead

That's coming together great, Rick.
Those are some huge trim tabs on the ailerons!

Looking great Rick, hope the rigging doesn't slow you down.

Thanks for the comments guys! I have attached the Fischer Models corrected Nacelles. My cuts weren't quite as precise as I had hoped they were

I have filled and when the putty is dry I will smooth everything out. I also attached a simple Plastruct tube sealed with a bit of sheet plastic on the jet exhaust to keep from being able to see into the Empty Void of the engine compartment!

Although I have no idea what this item is — there are not enough wings, there’s no prop, so it cannot be an airplane... maybe an UFO? — it is looking cool. My grandma once had a quite similar device for her pills. It had a clock in it that remembered her to take them at the correct time. Hm, maybe it’s such a thing, but howewer, you are doing a great job in assembling it!

Thanks for dropping in Andreas! I spent 3 hours today sanding and polishing the Nacelles of MY UFO

Still a lot of other sanding to do then prime and see how much More filling and polishing is needed !

The cowlings after sanding. Next up primer to see how much touch up filling and sanding I still need to do

Nice progress Rick.

Thanks for the comment. The Meteor will be High Speed Silver Lacquer so it must be completely SMOOTH when ready to paint

PS: This is the one I am doing. 56 Squadron using Pheon Decals:

Great!

So I have primed the nacelles and other major seams to see what work is needed. Better than I expected but still some more filling and sanding to do.
