I worked on the Nimrod wing assembly and the fit was actually pretty decent on the wings themselves. I then mated the wings to the fuselage and the fit was fair but I ended up inserting sheet stock shims at the wing root. There is a natural panel line there at the wing root but unfortunately the gap was a little too wide so shims should do the trick. Like most jet kits, the intakes are an absolute abortion so Airfix pretty much made the decision for me regarding intake covers. Regards, Ian

There's nothing wingy out there you can't fix Ian  .

Intake covers are the way to go for this Ian, it’s a challenging kit for sure

Looks magnificent already. I have one of these too; just don't have a clue when I'll be able to start it.

So due to the unforeseen circumstances on the homefront, I won't be hitting the deadline with the Nimrod. However, I will get it completed as the construction phase is moving along pretty well.

Ian that is perfectly okay my friend. As said before, we don't have a very strict hand with the finishing dates  .
