The center fuselage is together.
The orientation of the parts on the original kit sheets are random and since the old Maly card has a distinct texture the color scanned differently depending on how the part was drawn with respect to the texture. The old kit colors had to be restored on the scan and increasing the saturation might have minimized this however after getting the scan back to a reasonable color I decided to quit while I was ahead.
The former just behind the cockpit opening (K) provided no support for the rear part of the fuselage so extra top portions had to be added.
The fuselage section at the front of the cockpit is a little short on one side. Looks like the part was cut off at the line just below the opening and then another line was drawn below the cut off. a small piece can be added when the opening is reinforced and straightened to bring the edge up even and the extra line painted out.
Otherwise, aside from the usual trimming and coaxing, no major problems yet.
