Thank you both. No supports yet this is the first attempt. And its good that this is a alpha build maybe you guys can help me to find out what is wrong with this picture.

The size mismatch was not a printer problem the small one was the correct size. The big fuselage was the one I used for the striker. Anyway I think the small one is to small and the big one is to big so I will go for the midle solution. I changed the templates and start again building the fuselage with new parts. This evening its cutting time.

Oops its a bomber look a like.
Im verry pleased with the first results.
The fuselage support needs some internalforrmers and a glue tab to fit it on the fuselage. Not a big issue to add this in the template. Next will be the wing supports I hope this will go as smooth as with the fuselage.
