So I'm trying again - fourth go round - to get this done. As many may already know, this isn't the most friendly kit instruction and diagram wise. Or its just me.

Getting the fuselage done is a big step. I'd like to think that once this is done, the rest will be "easy". At the moment, I'm pretty happy with what's done so far.

Hint. Getting the sections to match is tricky. I set back the rib pieces from the edge of the paper. Then using different thickness of paper, I build up the rib surface to match the edge for better contact with the other section. I did it this way because I found its much easier to install the ribs to the fore and aft areas of section. The section marked 7b** shows this lip/gap. 5b shows the fill-in.
