Superb build of a model that is usually not built as well as this is. Very nice indeed! :)

Thank you for the build thread. I tried this a few years ago but it didn't go well. I ended up with another boulder. Anyway, this helps a Lot and I will try again following your lead.
Thanks again,
Dave

ACTUALLY, you appear an expert builder!
Thank you!

What was your solution to the nacelle issue?
Well, my priority was they lined up and looked correct, so i put a load of glue on the nacelle and pylon and held the nacelle in place so it glued in the correct place, but not flush to the pylon (see pic). it means there is a gap but wonky nacelles would have bugged me!! Had the model been plastic I would have put some kind of putty in the gap but don't have a simple "Card" solution to fill gaps

Back in 2013, I posted a thread on a very simple and cheap way to make "paper putty" to help fill gaps and cracks in models. Here is the link to that thread:
I hope that it will help you!
