Sorry for the slow progress. Working "inside out"... Besides fuselage sections being updated, here is a profile/cutaway to keep friendly readers patient. Comment/suggestions naturally welcome, especially to pick up any error

If I ever wondered, I now know why there aren't many cutaways on SB :-) Nearly (80%) through tedious details and naturally, adding a pixel here creates updates everywhere else.
Cockpit (V2.01): http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... ockpit.gif (working on it today)
Fuselage sections (V2.86): http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... ctions.gif
Galleys (V2.03) : http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... alleys.gif
and naturally the cutaway profiles/plan views, this working doc being updated as details are set in
Cutaway profiles (V2.78) : http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... ofiles.gif

Older versions of above have been removed from AAC library. When fed up with these, I switch to front and top views to relax; these are roughly 90% complete in "draft" mode. So, however slowly, I am getting near the ouside profiles which is SB main trade. As my drawings are not fully SB compliant, is anyone interrested by some cooperative work ? Private messaging preferred.

Not 100% FD (color coding, but easy to update) but should anyone find this tentative study about the P&W R-4360 Wasp Major of any interest :

Slow but steady :-) progress on the profiles, but 2 out of 3 top views assembled :
377-10-26 : http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... 26.PAA.gif

377-14-36 : http://www.atlantic-air-combat.com/Airc ... 36.AEA.gif
(this variant a fake naturally)

367 (C97/KC97G) : oops, not ready yet but mostly similar naturally. Will mention when "skinned" versions available, probably roughly at the same time as a first version of the profiles, although the latter might be brought to FD standards thanks ... some heavy weight assistance. Front views will come first though
