Eric,
Truly magic to see CDL executed so well.
Give yourself a pat on the back!

Well done.

Thank you all for the continued encouraging comments! I've made good progress this weekend. Tail control surfaces and lower wings have been installed. Also added the wind-driven generator and power cable (from .015" solder) to the front starboard undercarriage leg. A tiny wood prop will be attached later. For variety, I'm using Infini Models elastic rigging thread for the control lines and the Maxima monofilament leader line for the main rigging. Turnbuckle bodies are from my precious supply of polyimide tubing. :-)

Cheers,
Eric

Looks Terrific with the lower wing and tail plane in place. The generator looks great. You are getting closer now to having a real beauty added to your collection!

The shading and weathering came out really well. The undersides look especially realistic.

This continues to look WOW! Your painting and weathering is spot on. Definitely bookmarking this for when I get going on my Roland.

Cheers
Alistair

Great build! I've been drooling after this one on Facebook.

Another milestone reached! All wings on and rigging done. At first I was going to leave the Maxima Chameleon monofilament its original smokey color but when done decided to brush a thin coat of Gunze Mr Metal Color Stainless Steel on each line.
