This is a slightly off topic question, but I am working on the same kit.
Have you noticed the fit on the fuselage bits to be totally awful? I corrected the warp in the halves but I think I am going to have massive gaps on the bottom piece. I am probably going to be joining the halves tomorrow, or on my days off next week.
I have installed most of the PE on mine and it really does make the thing look better.
Your picture did not come through, so I don't know how much help you will get.
