Default Don Smith B-17 Fin Question

Hello, just started my DS B-17 and have heard conflicting opinions as to when to build the vertical stab/fin. Some say to build it on the board while building 1/2 the fuse while others say to build the entire fuse first then mount the fin.

Please advise!!!

Build the Fin separate from the fuse.
