Incredible beautifully detailed work Frank!

It's a peculiar aircraft with the wings positioned like that, but I really like it.

Sorry my friends, no progress pictures yet as I had no time to work on it.
But I just enjoyed reading your wonderful comments!

It's a peculiar aircraft with the wings positioned like that
That was one of the main problems with this configuration: the pilot has nearly no forward sight to land this bird due to the middle wing, and middle and lower wing causes a poor ground sight too!
After reading about it I checked this on the model - so true!

Cheers,
Frank

A very nice, accurately built model Frank!
