Here's how the engine mount will look with the chrome trim extending 1/8" out the back. It's a small bit of trim but really adds to the look of the finished model.
Don't glue the engine mount in place yet -
The nose cone has a small raised bulb end molded into the tip. While it isn't necessary, I did sand it down to follow the line of the nose cone.
In the kit the intake nose cones are already split.
Wrap some 220 grit around the main tube. Sand the underside of the nose cone to the contour of the body tube. Sand back and forth in a straight line until the widest sides of the nose cone touch the body tube with no (or very slight) gaps.
