Hello friends of model making, and of course girlfriends!
(Sorry for the salutation, but it is well known that in Germany there is gender madness. Sometimes the job title of a person is longer than the whole sentence. Actually, for example, the title above also includes model makers for the German name divers (people who don't consider themselves male or female)

Now it's time to update.
Now I have dealt with the wheels. The problem with the tires is the color. Hasegawa delivers them in black rubber (silicone), only the tires of that time were gray! Carbon black was not added to the rubber until the 1920s. So I thoroughly degreased the tire and then roughened it with fine sandpaper. Now I was able to paint the correct tire color from a mixture of beige and light gray. Of course, the paint does not adhere as well as on a rigid plastic part, but with a little caution nothing can happen. The color is at least so firm that it was almost no problem to apply the tire lettering.
The lower wings
The lower wings are finally provided with the inner tension cables. Again, my home-made ropes were used.
As a final step for today, the two wing halves were glued to the fuselage.
Slowly you can see that it is an airplane.
Then until the next update your Juergen.
