Album image #7
The outer sheet of the intakes are tough to mount in line with the fuselage. 
 

Album image #8
Somewhere I read, the assembly of the fuselage and the wing is difficult. I spent hours to prepare both parts. And after insertion of the intakes, everything did change in an instant. So I had to spread the fuselage (both) to have an acceptable fit. 
 

Album image #9
Interesting engineering, the right hand sided intake is a kind of ok, the other one, well ...
