On Jan 20, 2023 I wrote a small thread titled "Were getting there. Included two photos of Hulk Jr. without the mainframe (working in progress). Fran11784 and I still have some minor areas to work out but in the end will happen. Scratch building takes everything to a whole new level. I can only image the barriers you have to over come in your project and very interested in the progress you made.
One thing I was fortunate to have was a full body be it a much smaller version but it allowed me to make templates to then increase to make the 800 size. Im not sure how you manage if you only had pictures it would be difficult but doable. If there is anything i can be of help to you please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards

Thank you Arfman I appreciate that very much. In the fuselage everything with the exception of the landing gear wheels is scratch built. Plan on writing a detail thread of the household items and other things used. Should make some interesting reading
