Don't think so, MSN150 has the white cover around the center fuselage section and will likely be next.

The first picture in the thread was taken 1st April so my suspicions were right
As an aside.
Apart from emirates with their LR and ULR configurations is there any reason why sections have to be dedicated to a frame at production time?
Do customers pay incrementally - once for the forward fuselage, once for the centre etc?
Would seem an unnecessary overhead to have sections gathering dust due to a customer request for a delay, while busting a gut to get the next ones finished.
Presumably wings are just 'next set off the line'.
So can't fuselage sections be 'stamped' just before convoy?
Excuse my ignorance on such matters.

Indeed, it seems that any part of the aircraft is set for just one MSN and can't be swapped for another MSN. Though, it seems that the wings can be built for any frame,... Fabien  |

Fabien In the back of my mind is it has something to do with the fixes for the interior. I'll try to find it back (no promises though....) |

I'm sure you don't need reminding that 117 is mine, not yours  |
