Hi Joachim, thank you! I seem to have all the info I could ask for at the moment, which is a real first for me. If I run into any snags I'll be sure to sing out  :D

Willem, that's a great idea for storage! And Sandy... ouch!  ;D

Getting the main bulkhead and floor pieces in at the moment. Next job is some sidewall detail before I can put the lid on and start detailing the outside.
The louvres underneath the cowling have been a bit of a worry, but I have a cunning plan..!

That looks really effective. I love the way you have managed to get the interior detail to stand out without making it look overscale.

I go to a lot of trouble to get the real-world dimensions for things and scale them down accordingly. When in doubt: I'll reach out my hand to imaginarily grasp the necessary object and measure that  ;D

Signing off on the rib detail for now. I gave it a bit more attention to make sure it was consistent and marked out the position of the rigging points and control pylons. I'll put these aside until the fuselage is done.
