as promised, a few crappy pics from my phone. Im not HALF as far as you chris, but i thought i'd share my progress anyway, i finished up the seams on the cockpit, glued the main body together, and last night i spend hours on sanding and putty-ing it, there were a few gaps, as you can see in the first pic, look at the wing.. since this is my first real model, i was kinda "scared" of these gaps and seams, but after hours of sanding im quite happy about the results (loads more to do though..)

with the wing fixed:

hope you like it thusfar...

Cool.. Have built a few of them myself.. Might be best if you show all the guys over at the Aircraft board.. They'll love it!.. Great work so far!
