Shaving, scribing and sanding sorted the step(s)

A step appeared, due to alignment pins not aligning, the gubbins in the cockpit, engine causing the fuselage to pop front and rear. Excessively clamped to compensate.

Lower fuselage step, treatment as above.

Eduard decals. Nuff' said.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/1/1/5/1630115-110025-48-720.jpg)
This is the scheme I was going to do.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/1/1/6/1630116-110025-37-720.jpg)
So I changed to this. It is all moot now.

This was the last straw. Cut PE9 away from the fret, simple bending operation. Added CE Glue to area, went to offer up the part in my tweezers and PPPpppppIIIIIIIIIIiiiiinnnnnNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/1/2/2/1630122-110025-27-720.jpg)
Fiddley bits and PE (Tears of Frustration and Despair) done
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/1/2/3/1630123-110025-99-720.jpg)
Cockpit added plus engine equals, popped fuselage.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/2/4/1630124-110025-10-720.jpg)
It's the Clampetts, without the added comedy.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/2/5/1630125-110025-81-720.jpg)
The belly's pivoted now!
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/4/2/5/1631425-110025-74-720.jpg)
In the Loft. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for now!

Vintagemodeler, it would be more beautiful if I finished too 😅👍 mind you I'm with Biggles of 266. I prefer the Camel. bughunter. A. It did click, topside. B. That is a dry fit. C. Extraneous parts actually not needed or would not be seen causing fit/alignment problems. D. Every Eduardargh kit I have attempted have the same problems misalignment, fuselage popping, belly sections pivoting due to interiors (Fw-190 build. Completed) E. It could be me (probably) F. The kit is Seven years old and this is a recent purchase. G. As MacArthur said "I shall return" 1. When I finish my de-stress builds. 2. My skill level improves. 🥸🤘🥸🤟🥸👍

Eduard a photoetch/build to far. After the last bit of photoetch pinged off into oblivion, I've decided to Loft these builds until I A. Calm down. B. Calm down again. C. My modelling skills improve to tackle WW1. Aircraft. D. Buggerrit i'll build it anyway, no photoetch. E. I might have a look at them in 2027. I got as far as fuselage and engine on the Camel and Dr.1.
