I did the tail, then the wings, and am now working on the fuselage. I think this is a preferred order for a first time builder. The fuselage is significantly more complex than the other two kits and by doing them first you will be more experienced and confident. At least, that was the story for me. Yes, the wings are bulky but the wooden-frame-with-carpet holder for them can be built in a couple of hours and stores them pretty compactly.
