Thanks Ash

Cowling bottom area connection with wing needs attention

Other than that, there wasn't much of a problem

I'm in the final stages of one of these. As Tolga says, the engine to fuselage is a bit iffy, and for me, getting the wings sitting under the cockpit structure was a battle. 

I also put some of the undercarriage bay walls in upside down, which particularly irritated me because I made the same mistake a few years back when I did a Mark V.
