Welcome! I had a look into your deviantart artwork, Ganbare !! No worries, Test assemblies in solidworks or nx, between parts can be easily determine contacted surface or collision detection, unless if back in those days where we build papercraft to check contacted surface, rotation point, gap etc. Have everything plans earlier then have less headache while going complex builds. Step (5) in solidworks have to be minor tweaks or add on without messing overall proportions, if in solidworks that will be surface panel lines works and small details, which can easily delete or add later. Aerodynamic or implement NACA profile/etc, adjust them in step 1-3 and run flow stimulation or Ansys for flow study if curious about the data.

Amending few areas angle and length

Only on graph paper and 2d plotting in solidworks today. (Maybe on Sat or Sun will have basic part of 3d model to post), Design will be based on YF 19, tweak a bit of the Battroid leg shape, Fighter swan neck curve, vertical stabilizer storage and etc.

Done basic shape (few days needed to fine tune the shape/angles ) > Time to chop in parts > adding details > Test assemble >adjusting > Test assemble >Prototype printing >Printed parts assemble test

Since making of 1/48 VF 22plus, why not start 1/48 VF 19plus

Confirmed side Fighter profile & Battroid profile VF-22 Plus Length 36.9 cm ± and Type 02 Length 37.8 cm, Type 01 Length 35.5 cm

Welcome !

@F18LEGIOSS2I'm excited to see your Legioss project, ideas you have put into it, etc. You can PM me if you have any question for the solidworks ya.

Yes, i have figure out a way to proper store the leg and we still have full main engine. I personally can't accept parts swapping or additional support parts hehe. [i sold my copy of bandai DX-YF 21, i try to accept it but i just can't do. That's why i start this project, i don't have another 10yrs wait for another version of YF/VF 21/22.]
