    This is rather insignificant, but next time building, use wider panels for the fuselage. It MAY make your life a lot easier when you get to the nose and tail.

    Additionally, notice how the fuselage dimensions for the main segment does not decrease in size until the cockpit?
    This makes the making of the cockpit rather easy. Start on the bottom part first as the bottom half still maintains its general shape as the nose cone decreases in size. Save room for the upper half and do that only once the bottom is finished. I always find it easier to do the bottom before the top for the nose.
