thank you guy!
thokamous, never thought about the A-Wing as a female... after all, why not?
good, a step further:
pic n°1 - ok, I want to be honest, I hate tabs! and I hate everything related to them too, even those paper stripes commonly used to connect airplanes hull sections. I prefer to glue directly two or more sections "head-to-head", using superglue (cyanocrylate), but I can understand that this method could be not so happily welcomed by many of you; as a compromise, I tried to do something in the middle, using tissue paper: it's thin (0.05 mm!) and springy enough to do the job, connecting engine sections. being it so thin, it doesn't affect the building process with its width. I did not try with common 80 gr paper, but I think that using that paper could put an eccesive amount of width, preventing engine framework to slide inside without problems...
other pics - building sequence of an engine
from pic n° 9 to n° 14 - that's what Willja said in his post, about rudders being incorporate into the framework: those little spaces circled in purple are the secret, because they let rudder "feet" to get throught engine paper cover (there are a couple of specific fissures for this, one for each rudder), so once mounted they look like pic n° 14
pic n° 15 - in this model there are only 4 line that need to be scribed, in the pic one of them is showed, with my scribing tool: a little screwdriver almost sharpless, because it has only to press firmly paper (pics n° 16-17: the result, front and rear)
