Lots of places where you cut out parts just to glue a similar shaped part in its place. It could be simplified, but it’s a great model for the building obsessive fraternity. Unlike Gerardo, I’m building it as an in flight model. The landing gear and gear bays are very well designed but I already have the Ed Force One 757 built, and it has no landing gear. So this one will be gear up to match.
Looking good so far.

Interesting approach in building from ends towards center.

Makes complete sense, and is so completely obvious that I would have never thought of it...

Looking forward to more progress!
