Get it as close as you can, especially the curve for the canopy decks. After that, I did numerous trial assemblies, tweaking a little at a time until the panel base and decks fitted as well as I could make them fit. You don't need the fuselage side skins on. The uprights are all you need. I found the more I played around with the aluminum angle, the easier it got. It really is not difficult stuff to work with once you get used to it. A dead blow plastic hammer and a 12" shifter (adjustable wrench), a solidly mounted vice with decent soft jaws is all I used. Preload and hit, and don't hit very hard. Don't drill any holes until you are happy that you can't get it any closer. For the record, I probably did 8 or so trial assemblies before I was happy.
Have fun, good luck.
Cheers,
