A330- Emirates
here it is completely done. on ground & on stand..
I use 160g/mē paper for all the A/C parts to maximum prevent the parts to buckle
Landing Gear Wheels and Door Panel are printed on 80g/mē then the wheels are glued on 1mm thick cardboard to achieve real wheel thickness, other parts like L.G door panel are glued on 0,5mm thick cardboard.. Of course you need to weight the inside of nose part to avoid the tail sitting or extreme take off incidence angle.. for this i use UHU PataFix (like chewim Gum..!)
For the Landing Gears struts i use 1mm Diam thin metal wire, recovered with the strut template when it exists..then i drill carefully the intrados wing and the under nose fuselage section to glue the wheels strut.. such as to be structurally tightened as a cantilever beam
The next one A/C i'm going to start is may be the Sud Aviation Caravelle III, or one of the A340..
