The greatest fighter that never was.

It's out of square some where? Looks like from here the engine bearing section of the frame is a separate assembly than the cockpit area. Maybe separate them and fit the engine and frame assembly to the closed up fuselage? I haven't seen the instructions on this so I'm just making it up. Or...
