Now that you spent a few hours building these parts, it's time for the assembly.

First, you have to double and triple check that everything fits correctly. If you did a good job, there should not be any problem here! Once everything is adjusted, the parts are glued together to form the fuselage.
Nose gear has to be installed before assembly. A further installation would be difficult.

The nose of the plane is shaped from a balsa block. I used the same technique for the tail and the fake APU (see plan).

Bare fuselage weighs 240g (8.46 oz). Which is more than reasonable for a 1m35 (53.15 in) long piece and 15 cm diameter.
