Assume that yes

The new, more hi-poly fuselage with inner frame, and start making a cockpit (the japanese pilot was taken from 3dwarehouse for breadboarding).

Hi to all!
I have not much time these days, but i've done a pair of things.
New elevator (in comparsion with the old one). Thanks to Fredo6's Curviloft, very useful plugin!
I also added to the rotation axis of the elevator, on a separate layer, hmmm, let's call it the guideface.

It is handy to rotate. I'll do the same thing with all the other moving parts.
Animation of how it works

The frame is not ready yet, I want to add some details to it.

Dang, it looks like you're really gonna fly this thing!

I left this model alone for some time. But a couple of weeks ago, I thought about it and decided that we should continue. So, here we go: the new engine (codename R 9.3)
There is so much things to do.
