Approach Engineering have 2 nice built up fuselages. They are built from wood, airplane style. You can download the manual. May find some building method ideas there.

I also have seen a plan from RC Modeler Magazine for a Lockheed 286. I have seen it on the web somewhere but dont remember where. It is an old design but nonetheless quite interesting. The construction process is describe in the instruction that goes with the plan.

Appart from that my search were not successfull so far.

What size are you looking for? Electric or Gas.

Personnaly, I am currently working on the design of a small scale Aircrane for my Hummingbird V2 fixed pitch. I plan to use depron for the fuselage. Will see if it work.
