The engine and wood look fantastic Prez. I am interested in the wheels as I am using Gaspatch wheels on my project. Both look very good but I am a little puzzled by the blue colour of the tyres.

Thanks!
The photos are taken in rush with my phone, which has problems with WB. These are usual WNW grey plastic tyres painted in dark grey.

Excellent job on getting the wheels together . I would have made a mess out of the PE spokes .

excellent work on the wheels! I tried PE spokes a couple of times and met with disaster. You are a Master!

Thank you, everyone.

Rick, I am sure you would do well with these, the key to the success is that axle hub which centres it all and facilitates the assembly. Great design from Rowan!

And here a few more steps

The fuselage joints are finally cured. I have also added the PE side steps. Also some fitting of the PE generator support revealed that the rear hole is mislocated - I had to fill it (the white spot).






I did not quite like the way to lead the control lines for the ailerons as designed by WNW. So I decided to remove the plastic imitation of turnbuckles and the cable from the control horns and replaced them with Gaspatch bits. Thus I will have a chance to lead the cables from the openinigs in the wings through the holes drilled in the horn tips to the eyelets in the turnbuckles.
