Fuselage

The sections are simple and are butt joined at the mating frames. I like this method as there is usually a good fit with the sections compared to the tab method.
Cut out the cockpit area. That will be assembled later and slipped into place. I had to remove the rear fuselage section that mated to the vertical tails since it was a bit weak. I reinforced with two wood pins.

Note
I usually build jets, but this kit assembly is really going very well. Also, it has the right balance of complexity, eye appeal and ease.
