I decided to try and tackle the EgyptAir A321-200 that is offered in the Downloads section, but instead of building it out of the box (or "off the page," in our hobby) I wanted to do something different: Drop the flaps. I just always thought the flaps and spoilers and leading-edge slats looked cool deployed, so I figured I'd try and model it.
After looking at photos of A321s with deployed flaps, though, I figured super-detailing all that internal plumbing in 1/100th scale was more than I wanted to tackle. Maybe in 1/72nd.... Still, I decided I would simplify the wing disassembly somewhat.
I have started with the wings, assembling the two pieces that make up each one, then cutting out the flaps and spoilers. I figured while I had the wings open, I might aw well cut out the main gear bay and give it a 3D feel instead of just using the black piece in the kit that you are supposed to glue onto the wing.
Once I got that done, I built an internal structure out of thick cardboard and closed the wings very it.
For some reason, my iPad only let's me post one photo per post, so I'll have a few posts....
