Zipped up, there are a grand total of two locating pins on the fuselage halves, the cockpit itself is the major location guide, with 4 pins and 4 locating guides to help, but it does line up pretty easily.
Just watch the tail wheel and a part that's added on the underside, the don't fit after the joining of the two halves.....:flushed:

After the Mustangs and Spitfires of late she does feel a bit chonky.

Forgot to show the results of my glazing on the cockpit dials, I think this picture shows it well enough.....

Things going a bit slow here due to life things but I have got an aircraft.
A few fit issues due to my own impatience but nowt major.

All the undercarriage and wheel wells were painted the same colour as the underside, so tempted to get fully assembled before paint.
