Thanks for the much- appreciated encouragement, Isaac. I will certainly continue to practice to improve my model-building ability.

Simple exhaust. barrel and end plate


Parts



assembly


The round cardstock circle is to keep the cylinder round. It will be removed later.


The fuselage section frames are built around the exhaust. I like this method as you can keep it all concentric



Now insert that exhaust/frame assembly into the last fuselage section and conform to the frames.




and the last parts to complete the fuselage are the small parts to finish off a "boat tail "


and rear section is now done


Nice

Well done, Isaac. The tail section looks clean and precise.

The fuselage aft sections are added rear to the front until you get to the mid section. Then join the two halves.

Here is the exhaust aft section and the joining one going forward


once joined, add the frame.


Then add more sections forward.

frames added

I must note that the fit of all the surface detail is great. Everything lined up perfect.


Now we have 3 sections to join.


I decided to follow the instruction and complete
the aft sections. Now we got two sections.



add frames to forward sections

Wow, Isaac!

Is it magic, do you burnish, or is it just skill? That is smooth and lovely.
