Building start
Lets start with the nose section. First is the nose intake. Frames and the two inner engine intake bifurcation ducts.
Here are the parts  and the framing. As can be seen I used the laser cut frames.   I assembled the aft frame that suports the cockpit.    However, I realized that in order to install the ducts, I must separate the frame.  Next time, install the two ducts first. The frames really do not need to glue on to each other going aft.Here are the inlets   added a small wood piece to support the nose splitter.  Here is the splitter. Not the easiest fit.    Isaac

it looks very nice Isaac, the laser frames looks great and make your work easier.
but i have to say somthing.... they took a simple part (like the air intake) that can be done from 3 pieces max and very simple to build and made it with a lot of parts and very complicated, i will never understand that. good luck YOAV

the assembly is overly complicated, I agree. Also, there are many variables to the pieces and fit is tricky. Isaac

Nose framing-going aft
The inner frame of the nose continues aft and includes the nose gear well and the pilot's cockpit tub.
The gear well is glued, but the tub frame is separated and will be installed with the cockpit and the external skinning of the forward fuselage a a later time.   The rest of the fuselage frames assembled. Do not glue to each other as you can not assemble to the plane at this stage. Those most likely need triming and cutting anyway.   Lastly, add nose weight to the frame as shown to make sure the model is not a tail seater.   Isaac

Nose section
OK, now lets assemble the outer skin of the plane. Really it is a round fuselage all the way thru. So all you have are simple conical sections
The fit is great.        At this point do not install the inner frames yet. More in a couple of weeks when I return. Off to warmer places ( working ). Isaac

Nice beginning !
The nose structure is really complexe by the way Good luck with that one . Regards, Ronan

You're off to a good start, Isaac. It seems like GPM has a habit of making internal structures complicated. Well, on the other hand that makes it interesting to follow. Like reading a good book, the plot shouldn't be too easy to figure out.
Good luck with your job in warmer places. Erik
