Time to catch up!

The fuselage sections are all but joints as you can plainly see. Also they all have to layers of skins, an inner one with color for the interior which is not always visible and an outer one. there are no connecting tabs.

Also 15b and 17b floor parts are marked opposite of each other and need swapped in the build.

So, in hindsight, I have found fit of the skin parts to be a bit troublesome and the butt joints of the sections are a bit rough. They look OK by the three foot rules (view from three feet (1 meter) away, but are a bit ugly the closer you get. Also the ink does not like anything other than PVA glue. AC glue softens the ink allowing it to come off.

The Tail section had petals and was done in several pieces so I built up the inner skins first with bond paper joining strips, then I wrapped it with the outer skins.

Not real happy with the end result of all this, but I'll live with it. Now on to the nose section with clear parts and more convoluted skin parts...
