Thank you for your kind and constructive comments!
Certainly you are right about the turnbuckles (macro photos are merciless...), but my attempts stretching Q-tips all went wrong ( must find other cotton buds).
Xan, you can fix the roundels in toto, before they have set finally you can make some cuts with a scalpel beside the ribs, so there will be no difficulties. I used Micro Sol and Set.

Highest regards,
Jörg

    You are really doing top notch work on this Build, Jorg. I thought the interior, engines etc. were exceptional, and now the exterior turns out in the same class or better. Really nice modelling, it's going to be spectacular!
Cheers,
Lance

Well, now she´s standing on her floats. Connecting floats with tailplane and wings was a pleasure (after all that rigging...)!
As I said before, no jig is necessary, the kit is extremely well planned by Edgar and CSM. All fits immediately in a correct position.















Cheers,
Jörg

Absolutely beautiful! The rigging is outstanding as is the overall finish. The aircraft looks great on its floats!
