The first two pictures show the main landing gear bays. The following show the lower fuselage skin. I opted to join all the skin parts before gluing them to the frame. They must be shaped carefully, one by one. Joining those parts and ensuring that the joints close was much easier than mating them in sequence to the frame. Moreover, as the skin assembly is long, the risk of misaligning it to the frame is negligible. I kept making dry fit checks to the frame all along the process. It was fortunate to see that the assembly length matches the frame length very well. A good point to the kit quality!
