RE: Large scale Luftwaffe/Axis forum..
On the Andersen, I did build the fuselage as spelled out. I have been really happy with how the fuselage went together. Very straight forward. Notice I assembled it over a large sheet of glass. This allows the plans to be under it and well protected. I am finding the best way to hold parts to the glass is tack glue them with CA, then you can bust them free later. Obviously, pins do not work on glass!
