Got the engine pods together. Fit here was actually pretty decent.
After test fitting the nose to the fuselage, it was obvious that the fit would be better if I attached it to the upper half first. Oh yeah, and the cockpit was installed too but there's really nothing to see there.

Got the nose and engine pods sanded. Started closing the fuselage starting at the back and working forward.

Thanks Stik, John!
Well the fuselage is together. Lots of sanding to do still. Working on an idea for the back end of the engines to make them look a little more realistic. I'll show that later if it works.
