Thank you, Terri and Rick.

Step by step, after installing the Lewis and the windscreen, the upper wing jumped on and in two subsequent moves the interplane struts were added. The glue is curing nicely and tonight I will start rigging.

Youse guys who can make jigs... It sure pays off with a well aligned model. I am envious of those who can visualize in 3D well enough make a jig out of foamboard. That beautiful finish definitely deserves a properly aligned pair of wings. Great work!

There is something fundamentally amiss with a society which forces it's modelers to work for a living.

Lovely work, Prze  :o

Forgive me if I've missed this, but can you share how you made the jig and was it from plans or using the kit part as a form?

Cheers,
BvB  :)

The jig to control the dihedral was made using the scale drawings from Windsock Datafile.

The holes for strut pins in the upper wing were also retraced according to those drawings. Having these drilled, a couple of weeks later, I have just measured the distances and made the fake upper wing centre section jig from the kit part :-) Hope this makes sense ;-)


And in the meantime I have rigged the wing cellule and started attaching the undercarriage.

Why is it that your models always look so very good? You are a master modeller in every way - and I especially appreciate your jig.

Thank you gentlemen.
Do my models always look good, Stephen? I suppose that it is you, who is always so kind. Anyway, your kind comments make it all much easier. I have to admit, this kit is not an easy one. I have just spent a couple of hours attaching the main floats. After some minor disasters with pulled out turnbuckles, not quite fitting struts, etc. this is where I came. No more posing to photos, now the engine and the horizontal stabiliser are fixed for good.

As usual, I'm in total agreement with my Amigo.  Truly magnificent, Przemo!  Can't wait to start on mine.
Cheers,
Bud
