  Rizzo,
Awesome update my old friend. Absolutely beautiful work! I'm very much looking forward to see her with her upper wing and rigging in place.
Highest Regards,

Hello Rizzo:

I am just now catching up with this build log.  As has been stated many times:  truly amazing.  I wouldn't have the patience to build one of these, so I will sit back and marvel at the work you are doing and enjoy watching it continue to evolve and your skill at overcoming the flaws and making it all work.

Best

What a great looking model you're going to have when it's done. Colour me green with envy!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks again for the comments :)

Most of the rigging is done now- just the front flying wires are missing (they're waiting for the side panels to be fitted first)
And after converting the Albatross wheels (how lazy of them is that?!), I've also got the undercarriage fixed in place.

Now to get more parts ready for Alclad paint.

Now, that's a Camel Rizzo! Very impressive, where on earth are you going to display her? :-\ ;)
