Frank,
This is really building up to a spectacular presentation of your skills.
I must say, it’s a very attractive bird.

Exceptional job on those rigging details, Frank.  One can actually see how the mechanisms work on the real plane.

Do you have any specific process for cutting out and shaping the small metal parts?  I assume you are using files for the final shaping?
(I like your method of soldering together multiple plates and shaping them together as one unit.  This was in another thread.)

Thank you Stephen, Terri, Kevin, Guy, Gaz and Ken! You are always great supporters in my builds :-*

This was done somehow quick and dirty.
After drilling I cut the parts with nail scissors.
And right, the final shaping was done with some small files. I hold the parts with a surgical anti-"fling" tweezers (sold at a model exhibition under that name). Seems to be steril for one time usage, since I found it in internet now.

On the latest rerelease of the kit as Profipack in July 2020, Eduard has changed the PE set and now there are more parts on it, e.g. the small cranks.

Cheers,
Frank

Those surgical tweezers look very useful Frank. I think that I might be investigating those further as small parts going ping and disappearing into the nether world can be frustrating at times, (well all of the time actually!)

Thank you Rick!

This build is finished and the final pictures can be found here:

Good to see that this has been taken from the shelf - hopefully its next long term stop will be in the display cabinet!
Yes Stephen, I am glad that it turned out this way.

See you in the next project!

Cheers,
Frank
