Laminate all of the nosecone pieces together using 3M 77 adhesive. Then
glue the nosecone block to the front of the fuselage.
Once the glue has dried, sand the nosecone and forward fuselage to
shape. Start by tracing the top outline of the nosecone onto the foam and
cut to shape with a long knife or saw. Begin with coarse sandpaper (100
grit) to rough out the basic shape, then move to a finer sandpaper (220
grit) to do the final shaping. End with 320 grit sandpaper to do the final
polish sanding and provide a very smooth surface.

Carve the canopy to shape using the same procedure as the nosecone.
