Getting there steadily now..

Well I feel as if I've made a major breakthrough - got the tail section finished, all tested and working. Had a bit of a worring time yesterday when I discovered that the tail fins were not exactly in line with the front end section even though I'd carefully measured it before glueing - then I found that when the inner section is put into the WTC there's a slight bit of movement (left and right)due to the inner bottom rail being a bit narrower than the slots in the base plates below the tray - it's only fractional but it had me puzzled for quite a time - so I've lined things up again and made a reference mark on the top of the WTC - then as I assemble the rest of the bodywork I can keep thiings in line ...whew....thought I was going to have to do some unglueing. here's the pictures anyway...
