How do you say, "Mix and Match" in German?

Great work Rick. I really like how you use the different parts where they are needed regardless where they came from. Real modeling as opposed to mere assembling.

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

Thanks SP! The Myriad of extra parts from Meng and all of the PE I collected over the years are coming in Handy. Also got a few gifted parts from Pete.

Thanks Bob!

I have added the Aviattic PE for the lower fuselage, access hatch and firewall. I wasn't certain if the angled piece from the firewall should be under or over the lower fuselage portion so just went for it. If it is wrong  :-X

I also finished "Nailing" all of the ribs on the other two wings.

RAGIII,
Looks like your "Walking Point" on this one with the use of the Aviattic photo-etch. I have them but, as yet, haven't seen them used by anyone.
These build are coming together fast.

Thanks Kevin. I stared at the photo of the original installation for about 5 minutes then went to the Model Room and changed things to the correct configuration. It went better than I thought it would  8)

Thanks Marc, Like I said on your build sharing and helping is Why I Post. Just for giggles here is a link to a review I did for Internet Modeler when the kit was released. Built almost OOB.  8)

PS: Kind of funny in that I have learned a lot more since then due to This Forum and more books available!

I spent several hours at the bench today with small amounts of progress  ::) I have added PE from the Part set for the underside stitching and along the cockpit sides.
