Rear wheel and catch hook assembly, these are supposed to be movable but I've glued in place as the catch hook kept falling out and the rear wheel pivot was loose

I spent an hour or so building up the bulk of this model, had some trouble with fixing the wings as they're a really odd shape and one of the fixings snapped off. More to come.
