Hmmmm, when it comes to cutting plastic this isn't quite as straightforward as I thought it would be.

It looks as if I've moved the whole wing back on the fuselage somewhat in my sketch drawing, either that or I've slid the entire lower part of the fuselage back a chunk.
The AMT kit looks a bit more practical for the job than the Monogram kit, but the plastic is VERY thick. I think I'll need a bandsaw to do the cutting!
I'm going to start with the wings anyway, shortening them a few inches. Yeah, yeah, I know, how will I bring myself to actually do it?

There's also the issue of the notorious 'dihedral brace' that AMT include to hold the wings on. They've moulded it with the wings in their flying position, with dihedral, whereas they ought to have anhedral when on the ground, but I have a cunning plan......
