This evening I worked on the interior. I have made some photo's.
Floor with two displays and a seat.
I'm not happy with the cylinder at the back of the seat. I will remove it and place it some where else or not.
Next picture is from the cockpit. At first I created two sepperate parts, but now I'm thinking to make one part to give it more strenght and better form.
Next is to install the interior into the cockpit.
Here you can see some issues. Seperate cockpit parts need to bechanged in one part with multilayer to get a better form factor.
Also you can see that the displays are to big and touches the side of the cockpit. I bended the sides from one dusplay and I think it looks good. I will do this also on the second one.
Next up are the parts wich are connected to the wing.

Thank you all I'm almost ready to make the next revision. Maybe this weekend.
And all parts fitted. So now I need to check all parts andmake some changes if needed.
Small update I corrected all the issues that I have found. Next up is to make a new test print template.
I think I can make this template tomorow so I can start with pre building. If all goes well it would be the last pre build.
So keep your fingers crossed for the next few days.

And finaly this weeks update.
The internalformers in the main body stays as it is. I did some litle trimming and now they are perfect.
This is what I dud till today.
Some litle greebling not sure if I keep it.
Have still make some adjustments on the rear black box.
And the last picture shows some detaling.
Next update will be the clocking device I already cut some parts. Only thing left is glue the parts toghetter.

Below the new clocking device. All the vertical pieces have the same ange. The fitting and the looks are imuch better now.
I didnt change any thing on the detailing so no pictures from the details.
Next I tested the fitting of the modufied interiior. New displays and no air cylinders installed on the back of the seats.
In this case less is more.
And I also made a new cockpit. I want to use a cockpit out one piece of paper. When I compared both of the cockpit I liked the first one I have build. Its easuer for me to shape the furst cockpit in a cone shape. I used a cone former from the wufes kitchen and sprinkeld some water on the smallest part of the cone.
Yes I already pre fitted the interior in the cockpit
Sorry no picture yet. Tomorow I will start making some minor adjustments on some parts. So its back to the drawing board.
