Hi all
Finally committed to cutting plastic, but it hasn't gone to well partly my fault, partly equipment.
The vertical cuts with the razor saw went swimmingly but the horizontal cuts went awry due to an out of kilter cutting disk resulting in a very rough and wide cut on one side, I finished the other cuts with a sharp knife but the results weren't pretty.
Here's the first cuts

I originally intended to invert the rear engine but this would have put the exhaust stacks virtually on top of the wing so it was redesigned to be back to back, unfortunately I then realised the engines were too close together so I had to part them and add a spacer between the two which became a bit of a bodge to make them line up.
Here's a the story so far, and a quick mockup to make sure everything is going in the right direction.

I used both engines so that I could line up the exhaust stacks, the rear engine will be faired into the body with filler. I will need to add a bigger air intake and will relocate the oil coolers probably under the wings.
This is a case of "yea I measured it carefully, but still managed to screw it up" you can always hide a lot of mistakes under a layer of filler tho
Thanks for looking
Mog
