Very nice work Isaac. The parts fit nicely, and you're doing a very clean build.

Final small details
At this point, I added the nose gear aft door , the pitot tube in the tail and the other fuel tank and fins.
    Only thing remaining is to make a plug and vacuform a canopy  Isaac

making a canopy mold
First step is to make a paper mold/ tub to pour the plaster into.
Here is the template   and now formed into a paper canopy ( glue tabs on the outside )  Test fit on the model   cross section check      and here is the tub    plaster goes in next Isaac

making the plaster plug
next is to pour the plaster of Paris
   add wood pedestals to the top ( this will keep the plaster mold off the vacuform table for a better conformity ).  after it is dry, use hot water and fingers to break/melt the paper mold away. and here is the initial plaster canopy plug.    and light sanding, it needs fixing where I left the internal frames ( next time, when the tub is dry, remove those before pouring the plaster ). I had to gouge them below the surface and add putty. Nothing major though.  putty repair and all is well. sanded and smooth.  Isaac
