Well to be honest my friend I would like to make the first plane in there a French one to honor a former forum member Phillippe Medard who passed on July 11th, 2015. A fellow aviation enthusiast who I was happy to call my friend, though I never met him...

Wojtek,
I have to admit these are some good ideas! I will definately giving some thought to these. Thanks for the extra effort you put into the pictures, it really makes it clear.
Again...
Thanks, Jim
My pleasure Jim. I think the problem with the wall top edge appeared because of the wall thickness. It is more than it should have been. Am I right?
BTW.. because of the wall thickness , the second way of correcting with the wall moving can be made in a little different way. Instead of trimming of these roof arch endings it should be possible to cut gaps in the walls according to the position of the endings. As memo serves the same way of attaching the arches was origin designed with the pre-cut walls for the hangar model. So, instead of trimming you would have to cut the gaps going more into the walls. In the way the arch endings can be inserted deeper into walls without working on the delicate roof lattice. Certainly the way lets you avoid of tapering of the top wall edges too.

Meant to ask before, is this an RAF or US hanger?

Definitely not a British style hangar - borderline European, but more American design style.

I think I quoted the truss style at the beginning of this thread, which I imagine is fairly universal. But other than that the kit is from Poland, the brick face is from Germany, the base is likely from China and it's being built by an American! Truly a pan-global construction. Maybe that's why it's taking so long...

It might have taken awhile, but you cannot argue with the results!

Ah yes, multicultural, how urbane! What I was more asking was would you be looking more for RAF style bomb carts and accessories or USAAF style?I think I quoted the truss style at the beginning of this thread, which I imagine is fairly universal.

I would opt for the USAAF style thanks.

I think the "nationality" of the hangar depends on a kind of birds you can put on the roof.
Well I do have 1/72 scale pigeons for the rafters, but they are pretty universal, no?
