With the cockpit prepared, it's time to fit it to the fuselage halves and put them together.
The back of the rear bulkhead has a pair of alignment nubs. To ease alignment I decided to remove the right side one.
I fitted the bulkhead into the left side of the fuseklage.
The instrument panel also went into the left side.
Then the right side can be aligned and pegged ready for gluing. The instrument panel needed a little fenaigaling to align it right.
While waiting for the gluye to dry, I moved onto the rear cone.
It goes togehter well but will need a little sanding after fitting.
With the glue dry, the fuselage joins can get a little sanding.
Then the rear cone can go on and get sanded.
The rear deck gets painted Tamiya XF-5 green and the front coaming gets painted black.
The next stage will be putting the wings together.
