The fuselage looks nice and straight. Adding the sticks obviously helped.

Horizontal fins
The horizontal tail fins are built in a similar fashion as the vertical.
Only addition is the small fairing that attached to the fuselage here are the parts fairing glued on to the aft fuselage dry fit only. dry fit look with the vertical fin as well. It will be glued on later after the wings. Isaac

Wings
The wings are long in chord and short in span. They are also sharp at the leading edge, so there is nothing to round there. The control surfaces are added later.
Here is the inner wing support. My only addition is a wood dowel for additional strength and also to prevent the wings from flopping down when the tip engines go on. here are the wing upper and lower skins to be joined at the sharp leading edge I added a folded over joining strip in the front. first wing is joined both wings are joined now glue the frame into the fuselage insert the wood dowel and glue in place. I usually cover the framing top and bottom with an extra sheet to help guide the wing skin over the frame and also smooth out the wrinkles. ready to glue the wings on. note: apply glue only to the wing inner edge and outer edge over where those ribs are located. This way the skins will not wrinkle due to gluing both wings are on. Isaac

Wings finishing touch
There are multiple wing surface strips glued on top. Those are most likely structural adder on the real plane at high stress areas. They do add a 3D affect to an otherwise flat surface. Only note is that the rivet lines again are not consistent.
see the rivet lines? and now add the super long wing fillets. Even though they are long, apply the glue only in short runs and press down till done. Only other detail not shown here are the 3 small fairing for the control actuators on the bottom trailing edge of the wings ( I will take a photo later on ). Isaac

Wing control surfaces
I am not sure if these are full span ailerons or inner flaps and outer ailerons or a combination since I did not research that aspect further. In any case here they are, one surface per wing.
My only addition is to insert a wood dowel cut to length to give the forward edge its shape and keep the surface straight. glued on. Isaac

Nice job, Isaac. The fit looks nice and tight.

Right side engine
The engines on this plane are tip mounted. The kit provides a left and a right engine ( the designer just mirrored the page to produce an opposite engine ) . Make sure you know which is which ( a clue is a red thin side strip that shows on the outer side for each engine ).
The usual round cylinders and cones here is the inlet exhaust section center section all 3 main engine nacelle parts and glued Isaac

Engine continued
dry fit the engine to the wing tip. Looks OK
Add the external details. Scoops, landing gear fairing, doubler patches. here is the short spar and outer fin assembly is ready Isaac
