Thanks guys.
The ICM is not going well. Had problems fitting the engine block and mounts into the front of the Spitfire.
The block goes into it's housing ok, but won't line up to allow the exhaust stacks to line up correctly with their housing and if you get that right, the top cowling refuses to sit down over the cylinder heads.
I'm thinking it was designed to either show the engine, or not. No inbetweens.
Gave up after two hours and just decided to close all panels.
The relief is amazing.
Cockpit slots in easily. Once I get the wings on, it's Fill-the-pothole-time.
It's beginning to look like a Spit. now tho'.

ps, I should say I think this is still a good kit. It's just a little beyond my current skills and patience at the moment.
Only problem is what to do with the engine block now.....
