Al Rabe has a great method of building round type fuselages:

Note Jig pockets. I am building this one now. Makes me want to revisit the Sukhoi, Yak 54,55 that I really like.

Thats exactly the way real aircraft are built. The formers are mounted into tooled locations and then the longerons are added connecting it all together.

I built rubber jobs with that method many years ago and carried that type of construction to building giant scale R/C particularly Zirolis models.

If you go to Stuka Stunt you will see most of his planes are built in similar fashion. His wing jigs are one use jigs also. I have his CD's on the plane builds. What is fun is the molds he makes for forming the balsa skins.
