Thanks gomidefilho, rifleman, Mike, hrogers!

Well, I'm back to the boring part of making changes to the different pieces of the model.
But, as I said, small changes. At first I believed that I could use the assembled squeleton to end the model, but, being a detail-oriented person, I must start to assemble the plane again.

Anyway!

As you can see, I tested the tails. And yes, this funny shoe marks where painted on the real plane. It seems emoticons are older that you believed, don't you?

A few photos of a Stranraer indoors at a museum have been posted by a Flickr user I follow.

THANKS, southwestforests! I've been banging my head against the wall trying to find a good picture of that door!

As you can see, the third squeleton hull looks the same than the second, because the difference are milimetric and I made the correction when asembling the 2.0, so the real difference would be that the changes I made by hand now came printed.

Again, too much work (thanks God) so going slowly.
Once the skin is finished I'll ask for voluntaries to assemble the hull and tail while I desing the wings and, finally, the engines.

Welcome! It is fun to be helpful without even knowing how significant a problem doing so solved.

The squeleton is finished.
The second version of the skin is printed. Not all the parts, just the sides and the top. Once they fit, the sections of the lower hull and the dorsal curve that goes from the central gunner to the tail, will be made by hand, digitalized and printed again for the final test.
The internet is failing 80% of the time, so I hope this post can be send.

Eight images have appeared here, so at least that much of it got through.

It is a very complex fuselage. You've done a great job. Keep up the great work.
