Eatthis,

Another thing you could, although it might be too late in your build process now, is to put a truly big engine in the center pod.  Something of a whole heckuvalot more horsepower than the other two.  That engine would only be fired up at takeoff / landings and for high speed dashes.  Otherwise, the two wing mounted engines would bear the - more efficient - load of getting the bird from A to B.

That might ease the fairing job.
Wherever you go, there you are!

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

the booms are glued to the centre section but the props and outer wings are just shoved on for the pics

3 griffons + contrarotating props + 8x20mm cannons = VERY fast VERY nasty fighterplane
