Hi, Ramon. Since the cross-section curves where the front and back meet are exact copies of each other, they should match perfectly. Just be sure that when you cut out the cockpit area, the cutout extends below where the two surfaces start to diverge from each other (the hilighted yellow point in the pic below.)

As for the mirrored sides, make sure that the control points at the top and bottom stick straight out from the ends of the curve. This will ensure that the curve ends at the proper angle to form a smooth transition.

I'd have to disagree. With my method, both the cross-sections and the side profiles of the nose are accurately drawn. With your method, neither set of curves is drawn accurately. Everything is an approximation. Just my $0.02.
