Best, Nando

Like Nando, I also fell into the Galaxy trap.

One point worth mentioning is this airplane has some very subtly curved surfaces. Three views give a false sense of security until it comes to fitting everything together (without benefit of modeling clay). This can take more time than an individual patience can allow.

I've taken a break after completing the airframe envelope shown. There is a massive amount of work required to finish - details like landing gear, loading ramps, interior detail, flight deck, wing flaps and propulsion units.

Wish you luck on this project and of course I'll be watching your progress.
