I forgot
There are two internal air vent louvers in the center fuselage that I forgot to install prior to the center section closure. Note the white patch?
 this is what is should look like  I will install that later on from the outside. That will make this task much more difficult and risk losing the part inside if not glued and held properly. Isaac

Wing center section frame
The wing center frame is built around the landing gear bay and is partially built.
 It is then inserted on one side and glued to the center fuselage with its internal framing.   Very strong. Isaac

Afterburner duct
or as the Brits call it the Reheat.
The assembly consists of a very long tube which is the afterburner duct as well as a cone representing the variable exit nozzles. Also, there is an inner wall on the fuselage rear that mates with the nozzles.   I employed Yoav's method of keeping open ducts and inlet keep their shape by inserting a dummy former close to the edge and then coating the outside surface close to it ( but not too close ) with Super glue.     There was a lot of trial fit to make sure all is OK.  Isaac

Engine inlet
The inner engine inlet is a simple cylinder with a center cone.
 The center cone is not going to be glued until the end. Primarily to prevent damaging it during the model assembly. Also, I may use it to add more wight if needed to prevent it seating on its tail.  Only technical note is that I inserted a dummy frame in front and coated the outside of the cylinder with Super glue to make sure it stays round Isaac

Aft fuselage
The aft fuselage is relatively simple and housed the afterburner duct and exhaust nozzle.
The parts   Note that the wood dowel is only temporary and will be removed since it cant pass thru the inner duct. It is the attachment for the horizontal stabilizer. More info later on that.      Isaac

Aft section completion
At this point, I slipped and lightly glued the afterburner duct
   And here is the aft section   Ready to join the forward section  and joined.    Notice the nose section is next. It will be a big, long model. Isaac
