After joing the two halves I started to install the "joining brackets" unfortunately the holes don't line up. So I moved on to checking the straightness of the assembly, and although its hard to tell from the photo, it appears to be within a millimeter or so from the tail to the firewall. I then noticed that the transition pieces for the rear and central fuselage will require me to remove more rivets. Good thing I am a master rivet removal technician.
