This is a great interior, my friend @johnb!

This looks like a massive project, John @johnb, looking forward to watching your progress. Those seats look very smart, maybe an IKEA original design!

Used the idea of Spiros, @fiveten, to paint the interior black so it would not be to obvious that it is quite empty inside the fuselage.

Looking forward to your airliner, John (@johnb). This will really build into a nice model. I have a couple of these floating around somewhere, as well as Heller's L-749, L-1049, and an EC-121. The biggest problem with these kits is they are almost too big to display.

These long fuselages can be tough, John (@johnb), especially when the weight of the wings and engines start to be a factor. You can use some strips of plastic glued lengthwise to help with holding the fuselage halves together. You want to create just a narrow shelf for the other side of the fuselage to sit on. If it is too wide, it will need to be curved to match the curve of the fuselage.

@gblair, thanks for the advicee, George.
@j-healy, thank you, John

Superb steps, my friend @johnb!

Very nice progress on your first stroll down civvie lane @johnb! I can see why the extra locators are needed with the distance between the kit ones.
