If I understood correctly, UHU02 glues several parts back to back to increase their strength. While doing so he folds the outer frame into its designated position and then glues the textured inner parts to it while it is still bent. This makes sure that the parts fit well together and do not "crumble" in the edges. (BTW, I do that with my models, too ;) .)

Now that all pieces have been prepared UHU02 begins attaching them according to his god-like plan:

Either @uhu02 's hand is very small or it's gonna be a HUGE model!!! ;) :D

The floor has been attached with double-sided tape because of its size. UHU feared that the pieces would warp if he had glued them in traditionally.

Somehow this reminds me of Elstree Studios back in 1976...

I think you can already see the master plan...

YES!!! The side walls are REMOVABLE!!! You are free to display the cockpit with open or with closed walls. UHU has provided a joint which will suffice, however, he gives the tip to use magnets to holds the walls in place. He says:

"People who have plenty of time and money may well put in magnets." (from Google translator)

Ah well, I am a poor guy and never have enough time for anything...:laughrolling: thumbsup :)
