Slight progress has been made. Fuselage has been washed and cleaned. Then using the skills acquired from my apprenticeship I marked out the points where the pins would secure the top and bottom halves of the fuselage together. Took around 30mins and was extremely fiddly but finally got there. Then it was a simple task of drilling the 12 holes. Next paper clips were 'clipped' up to the required length and placed in the bottom half of the fuselage. Top half was fitted into place. Once I was happy with the fit the pins were superglued into the bottom half of the fuselage before the top half was glued into position.

Next?
I want to look at pinning the tail component to the fuselage. Also need to research possibility of magnetising the wings to the fuselage in order to ease transportation.
