Dear Cafe,

You almost finish all the works and ready to assembly, I think you don't need the tutorial but you need one more.

Then we start with the ejection seat. This seat is not ACES II but from its design, I think it should be Marti Baker ejection seat. Please use a tool to bend the seat structure 90 degree then put the seat inside. Do the same with the head section then assembly with tiny glue.

Oh no, I need the tutorial. I'm pretty sure I messed up the front fuselage. I just printed another example in case I have to redo that part.

With the F-22 and the F-35 my main issue is how to assemble the top and bottom parts of the main fuselage (and where to cut/fold). That's why the F-22 is still in a box in disassembled form more than a year after I started it.

That parts need many tricks. Especially when you make it a flying paper airplane F-35 with transparent canopy!

For the radome and the head section fuselage. this part need many tricks to complete it. Cafe did many outstanding good jobs. In this part you need to fold it as sharp as you can with care due to it is a bit difficult to make the sharp aerofoil at the side of this part.

At the first stage, use your hand to fold it roughly to formulate the shape then use the tool (Anyone please tell me what is this tool in English, a clamp?) Then use the botoom of the scissor to plate it as flat as possible. Beware of using over force to this tiny part otherwise it will surely tear up.

Looking good Jack! (I think you're using a long tweezers/clamp).

I'm guessing the "copper/burgundy square" is just a spot of color for the backside of the exhaust nozzle, so when you look up the tailpipe, its not just white inside, but has some burnt metal coloring.
