Yes that is correct, this is the last image I posted and its current stage of construction.

I've created a series of swept surfaces to try to recreate the complex shape of this area (Unsuccessfully).

Your last post also needs the user to create a swept surface to create the subtle curvature around the cockpit.

For anybody who wants to have go modelling this aircraft and has difficulty understanding what shapes need to be created I attach a polymodel version of the fuselage. Perhaps these images make it more clear of the complex curved surfaces involved around the cockpit and fuselage/fin blend. As you can see it is not a one radius fillet but a series of complex curved surfaces that all seamlessly blend together.
