I had to cut off the rear part of the fuselage frame and re-mount it at the correct angle, it had apparently got misaligned when installing the formers. I used a bit of balsa wood to strengthen the joint. When test fitting, it turned out that the formers were larger than what would fit the skin, I had to cut/sandpaper them down quite a bit. After that, the fuselage skin went on nicely.

Problems did however occur on the front part, as these formers could not be trimmed due to the cockpit. To solve that I had to cut a new front underside part, as the original was much too small in width.
