Thanks, N96HBK!
Today started the assembly of the last b/w trial fuselage, including the yellow strip. Hope to finish it this afternoon.
This fuselage is going to be used to test the wings, tail and engines placement.
As you can see, the livery is already done (but not printed). Yes, I know it would be better printed, but if you look closelly, I'm still having problems with the printer.
Anyway, tomorrow I hope to post pictures of the wings squeleton already placed on the fuselage, and the wing fairings.

And all fuselage parts are cut.
You can see the tabs that I use to join the "squeleton" with the "skin" of my planes. In fact, some of this pictures will go to the assembly instructions.
You can see the cockpit structure too, with the door and the floor parts. They won't be seen once assembled the easy version, but they are being designed with the expert version in mind.
And another detail are the cuts inside the wing roots were the wing reinforcements will go.

Question Wing root cross section?

Draco

For some reason, the wing root outline shows a very skinny wing. Are you sure this is the correct wing cross section at the root?

I haven't forgotten the plane, I'm just making the last details of the tail cone of the model.
Tomorrow I hope to publish a full picture of the physical prototype, tail surfaces included.

First complete fuselage printed. AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some small details, of course, that if I were to release the model very few people would see.
But... I'll correct it.
And, yes, Isaac, I still haven't checked the wing profile :-). I'll finish the fuselage, then the tail, then the wings, the engines and last landing gear and wing details.

Today I found (and bought) the new ink cartridge.
And printed the new b/w fuselage with all the corrections, the one wich is going to be used to place wings, tail and engines.

The fuselage is looking good. Keep it up.

Thanks Gary!
Once I found the ink cartridge, everything is going faster!
The pending corrections were a small mistake with the total scale, move the main doors 2mm ahead, and draw the lines and details of the cone section.
So I printed the final definitive B/w fuselage (and yes, I know I wrote that before, that's why the joke)
Now comes the tail, and later the wing, and yes, Isaac, I'll check the wing thickness!
Btw, the panel lines are too dark, they will be toned down/ slim down
