Unfortunately,the cowlings  were missing from the kit so I had to make them.I wrapped a piece of .20 styrene around a 13 mm socket held in place with a rubber band.I carefully applied cement to hold it together.For the front I turned them by chucking plastic plates into my Dremel and holding them against a file at medium speed until the were round and of suitable diameter.Then I glued the parts together and installed them after the engines were installed.Took awhile but it worked.

I'm really impressed with this.

I seldom try to assemble vac's- ranks right down there with playing golf.

So many people say that! Once you learn how it really is not a big deal!

I decided to try something different and traced around one of the fuselage halves and cut it out ..then I glued it on.Joined the halves together  and it is Rock  solid. There is a raised spine that I will grind down with a sanding drum in my Dremel.I will leave the raised section at the tail joint for a secure mechanical connection.

Yes but I like the fact that the plastic is on the heavy side....much easier to work with and the parts are very straight!

Well you sure know a challenge when you see one. Various online posts say Archer carried the Sutcliffe line for a bit.

Three-bladed props on 1 and 4, four-bladed props on 2 and 3.

Cut out the fuselage halves and cut out the portholes and hatches.
