Fuselage forward section
Start with section 5 which houses the cockpit
it needs the added small air scoops and the cockpit sides here are the nose section parts partial joining. Isaac

Nose gear bay
As a reminder, none of Yoav's designs come with landing gears or bay, so for us that wish to pose the plane on the ground, you are on your own.
However, there is some similarity with the A-4N model in 1/32 scale that was designed by Zarkov. I purchased that kit some years ago, so printing the part and slightly enlarging it made it a bit easier. first, cut out the doors from the bottom ( I left a small piece so the fuselage is still connected; it will be removed later Here is the part from Zarkov design assemble the bay and re enforce it with card and wood ready glued in bottom preliminary view Isaac

The front end looks nice with the pilot's office added. I'm glad that it won't be a tail dragger.

Fuselage joining
Now that we have the front and back laves, it's time to join them. A closer look showed me that the connection using only the lower tabs will not be strong at this point especially with the nose weights ( the design relies on the two side inlets to support the joint, but that comes later ).
my solution which I used for these type of fuselages is to insert a wood dowel in between here is the process: joined Isaac
