Well I guess it's a good thing I don't use it.

Started tacking the fuselage together. There's some challenges here requiring gluing just a bit, let it dry and come back for a bit more. Mating surfaces are slight and there's some warpage so patience is required.

The windows look really good. This is a big lady! Got to fly on one back in 2014. Huge, smooth and quiet!

That's a lotta tape! How wide is the wingspan for the model?

Ya, there's a bit of warpage so lot's of tape. The boxtop says 55.5cm/21.85in wingspan, 50.4cm/19.84 length

Regarding the texture caused by pulling the tape off I'm sure a few dabs of aclylic clear can fix that.

WOW! That is a big beast.
Not being an Airliner modeller, can I just ask why you'd fill the windows?
