That's looking excellent, Guy!  The details and the weathering really pull it together.

Thanks again all,

Really enjoying this build. Just to show you I’m still plodding along.

Trying to get as much done as I can before the top wing goes on...

Some final photos before I attempt the top wing attachment.

Last bits of rigging that I can do. Thanks Bob, your buckles are majestic!

Probably the last update before completion.

What a super kit  :D it’s as near to perfection as you could ask for. The only thing I’ve struggled on was the tail skid - nothing wrong with it - just a bit fragile and I’ve broken it off twice! I’m leaving it for the final touch now.

Inspirational, I have to say! Looks like very consistent work - painting, mask usage, rigging, assembly.

I've been dithering about rigging and Gaspatch turnbuckles vs Bob's buckles, you might have tipped the scales in Bob's favour.

Thanks!

It wasn’t me though - the kit just fell together out of the box  ;D

All done now, just taking photos before I break bits off!

Guy, I can't understand, how do you create that kind of impressive results with your build speed!
You should also be able to build a Eduard Weekend-Edition, something that remains completely closed to me.

Frank,

It’s honestly because I just don’t detail to your standards, I wish I had the patience! Mine are pretty much out of the box...

Don’t change yours, they are superb!

I echo all of the above comments and add the photography is as outstanding as the rendition of the model.

I was just about to say the same -- stunning images.
