What better place to start then right at the nose of the bird!  Here you can see the nose cones separated, and some of the various hardware that came with the kit.
I have glued the equipment tray and two halves of the nose together along with the canopy spring release.
Here you can see I glued blind nuts into light plywood and gluing them in the appropriate slots.  This is the top of the fuselage and the blind nuts are to attached the wing and bottom of the fuselage.
Here you can see the cockpit and canopy plastic trimmed up and the nose cone trimmed.  I will be painting the nose cone black.  You're looking at the bottom of the nose cone showing the equipment tray, and the opening for the nose gear along with the well it will retract into.  I'm also trial fitting the fan unit into the recess on the fuselage bottom.
Everything right side up here!  You can see the vertical fin on the left corner of the table.  We'll see more of the vertical fin as I am going to cut out the rudder and install a servo for it right into the fin itself!
Everything just sitting together for a trial fit.  No guts or anything in her yet.  Just had to see what it's going to look like.
In this picture, you can see that I've inserted the two HS-65 servos that will run the two full-flying elevators. You're looking at the inside of the top half of the fuselage here, behind the fan unit recess.
