Great progress Peter.
Don’t be discouraged by the setbacks, it’s amazing what can be pulled back from the edge of disaster. I recently made a mistake on the very last top, flat coat on one of my Fokker Dr.1s and had no choice but to strip all the paint back to bare plastic whilst still trying to save the interior. I managed it, repainted it, decalled it again and it’s as good as new. I find that modelling is very rarely a straight line start to finish, setbacks for whatever reason come with the territory and we learn from them. You also feel a real sense of achievement from having avoided catastrophe.
This model will be truly epic when built, I‘m really looking forward to it. I have every faith you’ll sort the solder issue.
I’ve all my fingers crossed for you..
Cheers

Good to see you managed to fix it without having to tear too much of the nacelle apart 
I managed to fix it by taking off the pylon and using a old pair of tweezers bent to hold it in place from the inside
Just had my extra wire delivered as these kits never seem to have enough. 
And I painted my arboretum.

VERY NICE WORK Peter with them bushes look great are you goin to paint the bench seats an get some 1/350 crew members ? as they do do them

I have found some little figures it's marked 1/200 on the label but I have pictured one it doesn't look to far off.
well done Peter nothing like havin a crew on board as it brings the model to life

I have the crew in the arboretum they were a little tall so I had to cut the feet off 
And I am now almost ready to start assembling the secondary Hull.
And two finished pylons
