Blohm & Voss BV-141 (World War II German tactical reconnaissance aircraft) SWAPPABLE!

Hello All,
I am underway on designing a foam board swappable BV-141.
This will be my first design project using Google sketchup and the Flite Test swappable concept, but not my first scratch build.
I would like to share as much of the process as possible!

The drawings are underway with most of the major components geometry finished.
I will do my best to keep this thread updated frequently with pictures and plans as the project progresses.
Any ideas or advise would be greatly appreciated.
