I usually join at the cockpit section later which is easier for me to use my fingers thru the opening. Isaac

Fuselage center sections structure
The center section up to the cockpit has a substantial set of inner structure/framing
the cockpit tub is built, but is not glued. Just fit check. here is the inner support for the wing spar . Very unusual because you have to precisely match it and not sure if the front and back will accommodate it short of some surgery. align with the cut out in the fuselage here are all the internal frames I inserted a wood coffee stirrer to act as a temporary ( as it turned out it would be permanent ) locator here are the center frame and rear fuselage Isaac

Guys, thanks.
This is an unusual version of the Mig-21. I just love those experimental planes. As an aside, I built many of those in plastic at 1/72 scale. In plastic it was easier to build derivatives. In paper, it requires a lot more design upfront. Isaac

Inlet frame
The framing for the air inlet and splitter is shown here.
The rest of the inlet assembly will be done separately and added once the rest of the fuselage is completed. Isaac

Marking discrepancy
I noted that the aircraft numbers ( Red 82 ) on the sides of the fuselage either side of the cockpit are not the same
the left side has rivet heads showing the right side has plain number another mismatch are the bands across the fuselage. They do not match each other and on one side are totally missing? These are only two of many rendering issues this kit has. Isaac

Fuselage section- Area B-C
Next, lets add the sections around the cockpit and aft ( I call it Area B and C ).
here are the parts center section glue the half section the framing is in position, but not glued yet ( some trimming is needed to match the bottom. section around the cockpit now glue it to the inner framing ( flush and flat to accommodate the inlet assembly ) Isaac

Isaac,
Too bad about the rendering issues. Good news is everything seems to be aligning quite nicely so far. Gary
