17. Install the 1/8" F5B and 1/8' F32 parts in the fuselage as shown in the image below, but do NOT glue them in yet.
18. Double check and make sure that all parts are tabbed together and seated fully. Okay, the moment you've been waiting for, grab
your thin CA bottle and get ready to glue! Place the fuselage over the plans to make sure it is straight and untwisted. Start with the
fuselage where F6 tabs into the sides, and apply thin CA to the joints, making sure the parts are fully seated. Secure F7 to the
fuselage sides with thin CA. From F7, work your way forward, making sure all parts are pressed together and secure the formers to
the sides with thin CA. After that is done, start at F7 and work your way to the back end, securing all of the formers to the fuselage
sides with thin CA. Make sure to keep an eye on the fuselage and ensure that it is straight and not twisted along the way. After the
formers are glued, go ahead and secure the stringers with thin CA. Your fuselage should be glued together now. Make sure you do
not forget any joints!
19. Find the 1/8" S12 piece and set it next to your fuselage. Apply thick CA to the S12 part and assemble it to the fuselage as shown in
the image below. Make sure it is aligned with the F-15 part and pressed against the rear former.
20. Take out the 24" long 1/32" balsa sheet and remove the 4 parts. Place them on your protected work surface, and using thick CA,
glue them together as shown in the image below. Make sure you have a good glue joint between the parts.
