Smile Nose section prep

Now that the aft section is done and set aside, shift attention back to the front.

So here is the nose section as completed before.

but if you want to build the model on its landing gear, there is a need to add some nose weights. so here they are.

wrap with glued tissue paper and attach to the bulkhead and on top of the nose gear bay. I added an additional card strip across the weights to make sure they are secure.

now join the forward and the aft fuselage sections at the cockpit cutout. No worries since Yoav made the cockpit tub flexible and it will slide later on inside for a good fit.

the speed brake is just for show at this point.
