Nicely detailed cockpit, it just slides into the nose-cone easely

Came across this video, I specially like the part where the guys put it under a cover and push it away http://www.airspacemag.com/video/The-Bell-X-1.html

Thanks guys,
Here's today progress;
I missed some picture's because I disconnected the camera too soon, so you can't see that I put a heavy nut in the part behind the cockpit to make sure it doesn't tail-sit when finished,
The wings looked a bit flat so did a little trick; I cut out the flaps, edge-colored them, and glued a dark strip under it and put it right back, now it looks much better, see the difference in the picture. Both wings on, got me half a plane..
