Your sugestion to work with slightly adjusted clones has worked. I now have a completely hollowed-out fuselage. But the final file is too large to append. So that problem is solved.
Bt why didn't 'apply thicknes' work?

Re: Problems when applying thickness to a loft

Re: Airfoil Import & Scale V2.2 macro

Hello Syres,
Thank you for your rapid reply.

Knowing this, I'll be able to work around it.
Regards, Old Flyer.
