Thanks, Bruce!!, it actually wasn't that bad after all the hours of staring, and test-fitting. I couldn't have done it without my canopy glue. Being able to actually assemble it, and where the cowls are concerned, literally attaching one piece at a time, and tweaking it until the cowl fit properly, was the way to beat this kit. Also, sanding things with the compensation for anticipated paint thickness was a MUST in this kit.
