Along with splitting the 3-view into separate top, side and front templates, and aligning them, if I have any x-sections I'll put them in the appropriate places and use them as guides. I tend to pick the widest or most complex x-section in the fuselage as a starting point and create a syrface from it, which I then extrude to the front and back of the a/c. After I've extruded a section I stretch/ re-scale it in the top and side views to match up with the 3-view templates and the profile, if one exists, at that point in the fuselage. This will give you the basic form of the a/c which you'll then have to fine-tune. I find I spend a lot of time in front/rear view when doing the fine stuff.
