Great progress, Alexis. And I quite positive that any warp (if there is one indeed) can be fixed by proper tensioning of the cables. Good luck!

Looking at what you have done so far Alexis, I think that you are being too critical of your work. Tail booms are not easy to assemble or rig, but with patience and experience they do get easier. This is going to be a top notch model when it is finished.

Thank you for the vote of confidence guys !

Did start to make progress on producing more turnbuckles after three in it dawned on me , forgot the attachment anchors . So I need to remove three eyelets and and this time wire up the hoop to the said attachment point  ::) These are for the cross bracing wires going from the wing to tail . So I back at it ....

That looks excellent to me, I can't see any warp.

Top job Alexis!

Thanks guys  :) :) :)

Had last night off so a bit of time was spent at the bench to get some joy time in , not much was done but in ways it is a fair bit . Turn buckles for the booms to wings are in place and ready for their wires but I'm thinking that the control lines should be done first for these wires will be in the way . The ones for the landing gear are ready to be installed . Still have lots to make for the control horns now . and the last ones for the forward part of the fuselage .

Looking good. So glad I can not work in this scale because of size limitations for those turn-buckles would make me crazy.
Last shot of the landing gear looks like the real thing....
Thanks,

Thanks Allan , so 32 scale is to small for you ? To be honest it is with me as well at times .  ;)

Thank you as well Fredrik and Bertl  :)

...think Allan is a 72/48er and there are some things you can do to a somewhat lesser extent whereas 1/32 what's see-able is do-able....your work is coming along very nicely.
