@FrankieB It's got a tricky cross-section. Kind of like an egg, but not perfectly. I think you could approximate most of it by resting two fuselage blocks inside one another, then using the scaling tool to size it all up. That is, if you wanted it solid. If you wanted to go for an accurate hollow fuselage, that would be very difficult indeed.
I once tried making a 1:1 scale C-5. Ended up pretty unwieldy, ugly, and floppy. Though, if anyone started working on a collaboration or even a solo build, I'd make a pretty good QC. I work with the real thing in the Air Force, so I know them inside and out. I've actually sat down and read the T.O.s before, cover-to-cover. I know all kinds of obscure details of their design and use.
If I made a plane using the hollow fuselage, could you apply a livery to it and do some detailing (would have to keep under the total build under 375) @FrankieB

@Sunnyskies that's the part of a c-5 I can't do, I tried hours and hours for it
@FrankieB Fuselage shaping isn't one of my strong points unfortunately.
But here's a very good reference image for it. LINK
@Sunnyskies Do you think you could make the fuselage???
Nope. Cuz it is huge as Galaxy. (Hehe badumtss)
I will
@FrankieB I'm making Tu160 :-D
@REW if you could make a c-5, I would be so happy
Wow..huge cargoplane like An-124 :-O
@FrankieB Maybe. Depends on how well our skillsets and specialties complement each other. What aspects of building are you best at?
@Sunnyskies we could try doing a collab on one?

@FrankieB I could build it. I already built one but I could build a new one.
No same as you.

@Gestour I can't I have tried countless times.
Someone could, no doubt about it. :)
