The struts attached. The upper wing, put on without glue yet, was used as template.

That is an amazing DVII Przemo! The scheme gets more eye catching every time I see a new photo. Terrific work on the struts!

Thank you, Alexis and Rick.

I have basically finished this model. But it becomes my new habit to install a temporary propeller. A better one, possibly from thin veneers, is in preparation. But the model can go to the vitrine and free the space in my bench.
Thank you for your support and watching.

She really looks the part Prze, congratulations!

What brand of decal did you use for the lozenge? The weave(?) seems very wide/large.

Thank you, Lady and Gentlemen.

What brand of decal did you use for the lozenge? The weave(?) seems very wide/large.

It is Wood and Wire decals. The weave pattern indeed seems overdone but it is mostly the flash macro photography effect. In the reality it seems much better, IMHO more than acceptable. Try watching the photos diminished to the real dimensions of the model. The effect gets moderated. ;)

When I have the propeller I will take better photos, using the proper photo camera, without flash and with better field-depth. It should show the model as it really is.

Yet another inspirational build PrzemoL.

I agree with Al - another inspirational model and build. Although it is in the True Scale I could easily believe that it is 1/24. Many congratulations on such an excellent model.
