Your strut repair seems to have worked out well Terri! Seems you have met the challenge and won!

Thanks guys  :) Well you don't have to wait long too see what she looks like with the floats installed . That part has been conquered ! Even got the tail struts done and painted ! I'm on a roll now ...

I did knock off the rear rad pipe will fixing the exhaust in place , it is now somewhere inside the fuselage , but no biggie . Just happy that I made it this far and it sit's levelled .

Not much more to go now . Two more rigging lines up front and the flight controls and the odd PE part which is for the very end . Or I will knock them off . So next up-date she will be finished .

Terri,
I'd say you've made it through what I would consider the most intimidating part of this build.
Well done! I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Cheers Kevin !  :)

It was a little never racking and I took my time letting each glue join dry for 20 minutes before moving on to the next strut .

Assembling the non-WNW biplane-hydroplane is always tricky. But you got it quite right, Terri. Great work on this rare model. Looking forward to see it complete.

Nice work on the Rumpler.  It's not often you see one of these built up but you did a great job on what sounds like a pretty difficult model.
