PSR is ALWAYS with us, such is modelling life.  :banghead:
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! :)

Update.
Unfortunately the engine didn't fit well, parts of it were warped, I still have to fill and sand it and hope I can get it to a reasonable level in the end so that it's not too noticeable.






The Chaos

Found the culprit.
One of the exhausts was in the wrong place, all parts were removed and when I tried fitting it the engine was straight.
Now I have to repair it.

Kinda looks as if it needed a jig to help get the parts in the correct place and at the correct angle. Looking good though  :thumbsup:

Glad you found the problem  :thumbsup:

The corrected engine, still not perfect but at least it sits in correctly and is straight, should have removed more resin from the pistons so that they sit deeper. Now it stays like this.
