Looks awesome man!

 

I'ma be upfront, the structure as it is won't hold up very well and at best will be sagging in quite a few places. It'll need supporting with some level of technic structure for how big you're wanting to do it. I see you building the interior walkways, which is cool, but, how would you access that to see the interior? Which leads to some level of seperation requirement, which leads to requiring extra strengthening. And then, how big its going to be, you literally wouldn't be able to reach the middle of it without either hovering above it (couldn't access the underside then unless the model is hanging) or build from the middle outwards. Additionally, as an LDD project, unless you keep it modularised, the program itself will struggle. I think it struggles at 25k+ parts. Which at the scale you're working at, won't take too long to reach at all. 

Perhaps consider building the cockpit in real life at this point in time to see how that goes, before spending more time designing in LDD so you can get a grasp of the effect gravity and the size of scale you're working with will have on it. 

The cockpit in itself would make for a nice display piece. 

I hope this doesn't come across as being negative about it, but constructive in giving suggestions on things to consider and try
