Now have something resembling a plane.... Had to strip the silver paint as it didn't stick to the model. Worst case of mold release contamination I have ever seen. Will have to wash it down before I repaint it.
There is a shaft the runs down the middle of the pipe on the end of the engine. If it is not set correctly I could see where it would not go together properly.
As the guns and their components have been painted and are now drying I decided to work at the other end... I have seen several other forum where other modelers have said that the engine doesn't fit and required that 4mm be cut out of the pipe on the back end of the engine. as you can see here I did not have that problem and the fit was spot on.

You need to make sure you use the "IMG" link to post single pics Just copy & paste. If the IMG option is not under the picture you need to go to the settings screen and click that option. (the settings screen can be found by clicking on the gear on the far right about an inch or two down from the top of the screen)
