One model per (non-working) day

This is the last part on the Chinook for me to put together, then I am done. May I have a little guidance, please?

IIRC you should make tubes with triangular shape out of them. I did not provide tabs because of the small size. The wheels are to be glued on either side of light cardboard circles.
But if you want to roll the tubes, that might even work better.

I've added a blue Tomcat to the iranian F-14A download. This time I used actual persian numerals for the serial instead of eastern arabic ones (the 0 is almost identical but the 4, 5 and 6 are completely different in persian)

Update on UPS recolor of MD-11-I forgot how to make curved lines therefore I can't make brown/yellow fuselage demarcation fit nicely where and how it's suppose to be.I'll try again but with little hope.My project recolor of A310/CC-150 Polaris failed for the same reason.

What I do when designing (in Word) is move and rotate adjacent parts so that they touch at least somewhere where I'm sure they align and then adjust color markings. Perhaps that might help.
Anyway alignment is a tricky thing.

Some more profiles of MkI and MkIIc (working my way up to MkIV )

Apparently I don't seem to be able to resist doing recolors. It is really an addiction and it is taking so much of my spare time that I don't even comment in all these marvelous other threads on the site. So please, accept my sincere apologies. You people rock !!

[scissorsandplanes]

And some more profiles done.

gradually replacing the older numbers in the list...

Coming back on what I said earlier, here is a picture showing how to align the red panel lines relative to the panel lines on the next piece of the fuselage.

Tomorrow I'll finally get to do the Mk.IV (and V). But first there are some Mk.IId recolors to show (as well as the redesigned prototype)

That's not a problem.my issue is than brown/yellow color demarcation line on fuselage isn't straight-it's curved along almost 2/3 of length of the fuselage and curvature is increasing as it comes towards bottom of fuselage.I use to know how to make it but it's gone out of my head now.
