I had been procrastinating long enough with mating the fuselage.

I glued the fuselage yesterday expecting some trouble. The fit was not perfect and I had to use lots of masking tape.

I will have to reglue the aft bottom parts.

The fragile landing gear was glued with super glue.

The gun turrets were glued with clear acrylic paint. I had removed the bottom part on each one since I won’t be moving the turrets. 

This model kit proves to be a challenge since I am not building it for myself but for James’ tribute to 425 Alouette Squadron.
