You mean you were going to do the livery retro of SAS?

No, the painting I want to do is from this year, and the A350 you put in has the painting that was now, and the new one looks like this:

I started building yesterday evening just to get stopped in my tracks due to a silly, stupid error in my design. As you can see, the fuselage is totally wrong. I messed up my calculations and passed over two indications that something was off: first I had calculated "mean" values that were bigger than the width and height of the fuselage and second I had problems fitting the lines and panels on the parts I drew. I guess fatigue did not help so I designed my parts too large.
Now I have to redo the calculations and the fuselage design. Luckily the rest of the model seems ok.

Nobody is perfect.I should have made picture of the stair "fix" I did yesterday.I underestimated amount of rust in steel stringers,weld was so large client laughed and said it reminded him of hornets nest building up but he accepted that.

Live and learn.

That'll teach you for being a normal human. No worries this end B-man- I would rather wait for a design with the bugs ironed out.

Sometimes it is good that reality brings me back to earth.
I should concede that I'm not the superman I try to be in this paper world

second attempt is better. Even if I messed up the engine a bit.

Perhaps I should consider retirement after all?

As long as you are having fun...........no retirement from paper modeling!
I must point out that you are filling the gaps on model designs neglected, yet important, not only in pressed cellulose.

ps Looking forward for the Vichy version.

Bruno design errors is normal, and you are a monster in a good sense of word. You extraordinary work with speed up in conception and paint, I not see before. But is a hobby, Potez for me in second beta is excellent, if you need take a break or slow my friend!

Agreed, nothing lasts forever but, a slower pace for longevity perhaps can help.
