well its was a test of nerves this model kit. the front part of the fuselage was as far as i got, real hoky design. 
but
i won, i smashed it into 10,000 pcs. and it will never bother me again. 
it released a lot of tension. 

my review of this model kit is 0 out of 5 stars.

I was surprised by your reation. I'd got the impression that you had a lot of patience.
Looking at your photo of the plan, I can see that the fuselage is built in two halves & then glued together. That doesn't seem a good idea to me.

hahahahaha.
i am do quite well at fitting, fabricating, improvising, understanding plans and building stuff. i had cut and attempted fitting the front engine mount section together a bunch of times, then after that i broke a bunch of balsa supports and was trying to repair them,
THEN I SNAPPED AND LOST IT.
it was so releaving to crumple it all up in my fists.
i don't give up on many projects. put that model kit on your do not buy list.
