No, but you can mount the angel on the top section prior to connecting it to
the middle section, can't you?  That's why I asked you how tall the angel is. 
If the angel is too tall, then you'll have to cut a hole in the ceiling and put
 a dome there as a continuation of the ceiling, thereby sealing the ceiling,
provided you put the tree in the same place every year.
