JJ do you think the same will work for an ASW-20? The ship I just bought

Short of having the manufacturer's jigs available, "It's the best you can do."
Each ship, after all, was created *from* those jigs (& molds), and arguably
represents the best the manufacturer could do at the time each ship was built.

In piece part terms, the "core of the fuselage" (i.e. the wing root area)
arguably is going to be the most stable bit pulled from any mold, and as such
"naturally" becomes a reference base from which to measure (and set)
everything else...which is what JJ's method does. You gotta start SOMEwhere!

Have at it, and good luck!
