Spectacular work :omg:- beyond my skills and patience levels these days. As the years keep adding up, I’ve become more and more of an OOB guy and concentrate on the finish. 
Of course I only wish I could do the work you do!

Keep ‘em comin

There was something off about the look of the nose that I based on the set of drawings above. So I overlap it with a picture of an real aeroplane that was scaled up to the spinner diameter just to see the proportions and realized that the drownings are incorrect. The plug was too big. 
so back to the basics. :)

I meant mitre saw LOL

I can think of a few of my builds that would benefit from a close encounter with that! :lol:

Ahhh ... the dreaded drudge of « reference » drawings :( ... You are not the first modeller, nor modelling company btw, to be fooled by wrong references. 
And people wonder why new kits are sometimes not more accurate :rolleyes:

I like your tools Martin. A bit cumbersome on the bench maybe...

of course I had to drop the propeller and broke the tip. Just a tip.

Simply awesome work Martin!

This will be a stunner!

Just in case a "decent" drawing,

Edit:

,,with exception of the shape of the additional tail segment for F-20. It should be squared up on the short tail fuselage . Not streamlined .  mediocracy is becoming a standard nowadays , let us blame it on Covid

Edit 2: Exhaust stacks should be angled on Merlin LOL
