Here we are with a nose on view. Hmm, everything aligned close enough. When I was gluing the rear fuselage to the center section, I ran into another SNAFU. The instructions are rather ambiguous about installing the jetpipe, which has a cut-out on the forward end and a notch along one side, either dorsal or ventral, depending on which way you install it. Well suffice to say, I placed it in upside down and had no room to insert the main undercarriage bay. So I had to disassemble the fuselage, remove and flip the jetpipe over and reglue the entire thing back together. Thank God for liquid cement. I have gotten to this point and the results are still pleasing. It sure looks like a U-2R/S.
