I made the fuselage a pretty accurate length. Is there anything else i can do?

    @asteroidbook345 yeah, would be cool. I think i would have been able to copy it from old versions anyway) and dont worry, i gonna have a bloody heavy week in the office so i most likely wont be able to do anything here untill weekend)

    @asteroidbook345 Sorry for messing with your work, but i've remade the fuselage, with that idea how to make a livery in the tail.

    Can you please add windows and a red stripe like on the picture:

    This is not a livery used with JAL, but that one with two Z-shaped stripes was too difficult. We'll just add JAL logos to this one)

    @asteroidbook345 You know, the more i look on tu-114 photos, the more i think that the blueprints we are using are not exactly accurate. It seems that it has a narrower nose with more prominent tilt down, like a lockheed constellation. I think i will change proportions a bit, and post an update just soon

    i will delete front landing gear for now as it will be completely changed anyway and its doors are messing with changing the fuselage shape

    @asteroidbook345 i think yes. Last time it wasnt difficult to adjust the windows to the livery

    You know what? dont do it in the tail. I have an idea how to make it better livery in the rear

    @asteroidbook345 dont worry. we can always add it later. I added it to an already made model. Though it should not be difficult, it's just time consuming. It is all done by keeping the sizes fall in the same proportion.

    Nice! But some notes:
    1) Can you make a tail cone a bit shorter? Like by 2 m /7 feet? (making the middle section longer by the same 2 m)
    2) Can you make the tail cone from some more pieces? So it looks smoother
    3) the tail cone is curved up slightly less than yours, so it's upper border curves a bit down in the rear. It is i think also somewhat thicker in the middle. take a look at the blueprint
