Gluing the plane together

On the majority of my builds, I only glue the cockpit interior to one side of the fuselage, after dry fitting to make sure it fits ok and doesn't interfere with the fuselage halves mating. Usually use Super Glue for interiors to fuselage. When dry, assemble the fuselage halves. Have'nt built the Italeri Osprey so you may have some unique problem, but your plan sounds pretty high risk.

Not quite sure how the V-22 goes together, but here's what I do on all sizes of aircraft:
I glue all the interior pieces (cockpit, cargo bay, bomb bay, whatever) into one fuselage side, dryfitting the other fuselage side all the while to make sure all the interior components are properly aligned.
After finishing up all the interior painting, I then glue on the other fuselage side.

Is that what you were asking about?

Rick, you're quick!
We simulposted!

Usually cockpit to fuselage then join the fuselage halves.
If there is enough room I use a paintbrush with liquid cement and glue the other side through the open cockpit - carefully

What i used to do as a kid was to just glue everything on at once. it usually ended roup a godawful mess... What i've found that works is that you should glue the cockpit to one side of the fuselage and then dryfit the other half to make sure that the seams are okay. Use a rubber band around the fusalage to make sure that the fusalage halves stay together while the glue on fuselage half and the cockpit is drying. I repeat the process for other sections... (if on a B-17, the bombardier/navigator's cabin, the cockpit, the bomb bay, the radio room, the waist section) It's on;y after everything that should go in is there (i.e. turrets, windows, interiors, etc...) is glued down tight, that i assemble the fuselage halves. of course, even then seams can still be a problem.
