Once the fuselage and tapered nose parts have had a chance to setup
its time to attach the Front Wheel.

Obviously this could be added later on...sometimes small things that stick out
might be better left to the end, so they don't get broken off.
I will just have to be careful.

The front wheel is a solid metal disc...and only the lower third of the wheel is visible.
So, thats all you get.

Cut out and glue the two sides together. (I added a third layer for a bit more scale thickness)
Colour the edge and glue it in place, on the centerline.





...
At the other end of the fuselage, is the rocket motor...
I added some colour for fun, but the exhaust nozzle is so small you won't be able to see it anyway.

Glue the end cap onto the fuselage. (Make sure to edge colour the black part)
The rocket motor exhaust nozzle will attach to this.



...
The rocket motor exhaust nozzle is two parts...a bit small, but not too hard to assemble.
But before you cut out the parts, you should colour the backside...this is the inside of the nozzle.





...
Cut out, edge colour, and roll the two parts into cone shapes.
Overlap and glue cones and then join them together to form the rocket motor nozzle.
There are some little glue tabs ...if you need them...or you can cut them off.
You can also touch up the inside colour of the wide nozzle.





...
Attach the exhaust nozzle to the backplate on the fuselage...
and the main fuselage is finished.
next comes the upper fuselage and cockpit area.
