I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Those nacelles should glue up nicely. What is that, 1/8 sheet stock to fill in before sanding? Some technique on the underside?

It's 3/32" and is duplicated on the bottom.

Hi DD, I notice that your leading edges are not formed yet, do you find that it is easier to sand them after???

Much easier!! The instructions say you MUST taper and shape the leading edge before installing it but I don't agree. Tapering is a must but trying to carve it into a rounded shape is a nightmare. As it is here, I've used a xacto to match the LE to the curvature of the ribs and then sanded it. Now the remaining shaping can easily be done with a sanding block and very little carving will be required.
