Hello Ivan, hello Smilo,
Thanks for your support! I haven´t altogether discarded putting in the extra transparent windows in the right nose section yet, and I´m still trying things.
The objective is to have the interior walls visible, in the area forward of the windshield, slanting down backwards to the top of the transparent windows and then verticaly down. A slanted and a vertical grey insignia bulkhead then block off the Nose section from the rest of the inner rear fuselage in Body Main.
Forward nose frame and nose sides are halves, two l/r component, the same as the area below the glass canopy upto the leading edges. Each side has its own texture, inner sides dark grey.
Although in general it looks quite good, there are 2 rather annoying problems: The bulkheads momentarily disappear and allow the inside of the nose panels to bleed through when viewed from slightly rear side angles, and the glue-sequence for the cabin floor and crew will not work anymore, although the corresponding listing in Body Main is intact, and the cabin floor often disappears.
I´ll see if I have a better idea to try out. For the moment, parts count is at 149.6%, the Bombardier is still in, and AF99 still compiles, but I´m safe-guarding the other version with textured chin and cheek windows though, as that already looks quite acceptable and the build is clean and quite bleed-free.
Update: Putting the nose components into Nose Left and Nose Right helps a great deal, but there is still interaction with the cabin, which lies in Body Main and overlaps the lower forward part, which is in the Nose groups. Getting that area into Body Main is even worse because then the bulkheads don´t work at all like they should, so that´s out too. For the moment, I´m sticking to textured extra window, and wait and see if I can come up with something new for the transparent ones. It´s not really a matter of parts count, because even at 149.9% all the parts are there, it compiles, but it´s too complicated for AF99 to prevent all the bleeds.
BTW: Thanks Smilo for all the squadron symbols! If you like, then I can put an edelweis symbol on the fins instead of the 4-T´s "swas-T-ka" cross. I gather the bomb-dropping eagle would stay on the sides in the front?
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp
