Thanks Walter but the Enthusiast kits can be fiddly as the instructions sometimes don't show the fitment areas well enough.

OK Mattias, make sure to test fit most everything before fitting together. There may be parts that you can put together out of sequence, because the instructions aren't clear enough. Just one of the fit problems was the silencer, it didn't specify where it was to be fitted onto (the bracket that hangs the engine in the chassis) so that when I put the body on the silencer hung below the rear bodywork, when it should have been tucked up inside the rear bumper.

I put a few drops of enamel thinners on the pipe into the silencer to dissolve the glue, took it off, tucked it behind the bumper glued it back onto the engine hanger and re-connected the exhaust pipes.

Also read the window section, as the front windscreen has to have the quarter lights cut off and the rear screen has to have the side windows cut off, both of which I did with a razor saw. Then fit both front and rear screens in place and and fit the separate side windows. Otherwise as per the first sentence test fit each part more than once, to ensure their correct placing.
