| Trevor for the front fuselage make a simple jig,all it needs to be is a plank of timber with pieces glued or screwed perfectly upright,draw a centre line from the tail end to the front bulkhead,once you slide on two of the main frame formers you can build the jig to suit the necessary widths,even positioning them either side to keep things in line.This is the first model EVER that I know of that has been started from the tail ! it is just asking for errors to creep in that way,however Hachette in their amazing wisdom chose to do it this way,just take care and watch those dimensions,check back in our archives to see how the fuselage evolves,that way you will get a good mental picture of how it all goes together,I have also used more Araldite in this model than anything I have ever built,after all of the fiddling you dont want it springing apart after all.
