Hello, what are you using for your internal eyelets?

Ryan

I did not quite catch, what you meant by internal. Anyway, the eyelets themselves are from Bob's Buckles. The Gaspatch C-type turnbuckles have the eyelets, which I do myself from pieces of twisted copper wire, trimmed to the required length. Hope this is clear.

Ahh sorry, I meant for the "inside" rigging around the cockpit framing.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response.

Now I see, there I used simple eyelets - from Bob's Buckles.

Amazing work on the drilling and fitting of the eyelets on the control horns!

Looking fantastic so far.
I'm a Lukgraph fan and have the 1/72 Albatross C.III and N.T.2B nearing the top of the stash for attention in the near future.

After the fabulous 3-weeks holidays in the WNW homeland, including the obligatory visit to Omaka, I am back to reality and this includes also my modelling bench.

The recent days were spent on preparations of wing cellule elements. Unfortunately, there were some geometry corrections necessary, the most severe was moving the lower wings with their centre-piece roots by 2mm to the rear - I failed to check it earlier and now had to cut off the complete lower wings and reattach them in proper locations. My earlier prepared jig came very useful again.
The wire pins in the struts are trimmed, the locations in the wings and the fuselage retraced and drilled.
I have also removed the unnecessary stitching from the fuselage along the rear centre struts.
Now it will be time to prepare the rigging stations.

Nice to have you back! Your prep work on the struts and corrections are your usual excellent work! Looking forward to more!

Truly magnificent work thus far, Przemo!  I love the shade of PC10 you chose for this one.  What paint did you use?
Cheers,
Bud

[PrzemoL]

Thank you, Terri and Bud.

My choice for PC10 this time is Vallejo Gris Oliva No.92. I have used it on my recent RE.8 as well. Glad you like it :-)

[RAGIII]

Lovely painting as always. I am really impressed with the wood tones of the floats and prop. Perfection!

I have just spent a most enjoyable and informative half hour carefully reading through this thread Prez: not sure how I dod not pick this up before but as I have written elsewhere, I have not been on good form lately.

The quality of your work is outstanding as ever. I agree with Rick that you wood tones are very realistic. I also like your card jig - simple but very effective, and of course, very useful.

Your colors are looking good, Przemol.
