Thanks, the cockpit is in the forward fuselage and weight has been added to the fuselage
and nose cone. I need a few more parts and some sanding then I can move on to the rear
fuselage and tail.- John

Thanks, rear fuselage assembled. It needs a bit of putty and sanding but not much at all.- John

Progressing nicely.

Looks good but seems a bit early to install sticky outy things.

No choice. I looked at all options and had to bite the bullet. It is what it is, not engineered
by a modeler obviously. - John

Truly sucks at times. I had to put up with that with my last Mustang. Install tail wheel in Step 2 they sez, snaps it off before Step 4 I did

"We are one". Front and rear fuselage joined. Actually not a bad fit for an old kit. I did notice
one thing, Monogram made the spine on the rear fuselage wider than the spine on the front
fuselage. I went so far as to put my optivisor on , thought I had aligned it wrong but it's the
kit's engineering again. Oh well "it is what it is"!- John

My guess one rear end and several front ends
