I think I got the wings and vertical stabilizer right. Variable incidence wings, landing gear and elevators not installed yet (I'm not sure if they're all moving or not). Also not to scale. Pls help with the cockpit and fuselage spine
AG2 + Trim up- fold wings
VTOL down- flaps

@F104Deathtrap alright, thanks for the tips mate!
I think i'll be able to finish this next week
I'd build the spine in 3 sections: the part ahead of the wings, the part that moves with the wings and the part after the wings. This is a pretty tough plane to build without mods, good luck!
All US jet fighters have all-moving stabilators. There may have been a few back before the F-86 that didn't, but it first flew back in the 40's so it's a safe bet just to assume the tails move usually.
