these little gaps sums up to larger problem.

cranked contact point is here, but does not match out of the box.

you need to cut thin strip in left circle to insert body part through door hidges in right circle..
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/9/9/5/1652995-43944-97-720.jpg)
this area will be covered by square part, so cuttting here should not be a problem.

At test fit stages, I recommend to run through steps 1 to 35 in reverse order to understand design goal for the body, and then jump to
later steps for main landing gears.There you need proper alignment of lattice in the gear box, otherwise legs will not go into the places.

What a fitting project title😅
Maybe you found Hugo Petiers build diary on large scale planes? This helped me a lot.
Taking a seat for sure 👍
