Help with fit issues: 1/48 Tamiya Fw 190A

Thanks for the replies. 
I had noticed those gaps, but couldn't see how they affected things. 
Somehow after the 100th dry fit trying to figure it out, and putting some downward pressure on the engine, it fit together. Still might need a little filler on the starboard side.

much appreciated

I just wrapped one of these up a couple weeks ago and mine fit pretty snuggly. Based on what I'm seeing, it looks like the culprit is the lower wing. there appears to be a gap where the lower cowl and wing connect to the fuselage. I have circled it in red and it looks like the gap is the same size as what you see in your first photo.  Going through the build sequence in my mind, the only thing I could think of would be to start shaving off the front of the lower cowl until you get the fit you need.

I justlooked at mine.  It, too has a gap there, but not as noticable.  How does the cowling fit without the motor installed?  Perhaps the curvd section of the wing root needs to be shaved down a bit.
