Hey, thanks guys.
REL very kindly uploaded a load of great reference for me and I have realised that wanting to complete this model as quickly as I do just isn't realistic. I am going to have to dedicate more time to this. Some late nights are in order. I have noticed that the panels on my wings are too thick. I'm going to have to live with that until after my show.
Anyway, I made a section of the body this afternoon. The vacforming patterns are polyurethane foam. I used 1.5mm styrene:
Here it is primed and double-sided to the dorsal wing.
I don't suppose anyone has a koolshade off-cut they want to sell ;-)

Hi guys. Thanks a lot. I did a little bit more on it today.
The structure for the main body has been laser cut. It will be held together with 19.1mm (don't ask!) brass tubing:
...as have the parts for the wing mech. I dropped these into rubber just before I left to come home for the day. I'll be casting them up tomorrow and joining them to the side wings:
Cheers
Neil
