I was able to make progress yesterday.
 The engine intakes:   The exhaust:   The main fuselage components:  Front portion + intakes:   Middle portion + wheel wells:  And finally --- the completed fuselage (sans the canopy...):  Before calling it a night, I tried to dry-fit the wings:     That's all for now, I guess. I hope I can squeeze in a bit of build time this Sunday....

Thanks, Desney!
A little update... I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ATTACH THE FRONT WHEEL WELL! :o Oh well.....  The only thing I could do was to assemble the front wheel well sans the glue strips. I just did a butt-join of the edges. Without the glue strips, it should be easier to plug in the wheel well into the fuselage cavity.  ....or maybe not. :( Note to myself --- make sure to slide in the front wheel well while assembling the fuselage!  I end my weekend build by attaching the canopy to the fuselage. 'Till next weekend! :D

And...for the final touches, I finally finished assembling the landing gears:
 I didn't take pictures of the landing gear assembly process. It's pretty much straightforward. After a couple of minutes for the glue to set, I proudly present my first prototype of the BV P.212.02:   Okay! I cheated! That shiny thing barely visible in the intake is a small screw. Once again, I forgot to consider that this IS a tricycle geared plane and would likely need some weight up front. I'll keep that in mind when I make my final build after skinning.  Time to fire up Inkscape and start working on the Karaya-1 skin. (More pix here.)

@Desney
Thanks! I'll complete the Karaya-1 scheme first, then I'll consider making an additional skin. I already have some pictures of PAF Sabres. I can probably copy those. But would you have SVG images of our roundels? @plane_mc I'm planning to use the black-tulip scheme from Erich Hartmann's plane. I saw a picture of a Bundesluftwaffe F86 bearing the same camo scheme. It looked really nice.
