Thank you, Paul and Jurek.

Absolutely stunning build Przemek! What next?

Well, this one but in a more exotic livery.

Outstanding, sir!  I have three WNW kits, none of which I've started yet.  I also have the PT-17 kit.  A friend of mine gave it to me because he said it was unbuildable.  I was thinking of starting on it to see what he was talking about.

Thank you, Jimmy.
I wonder what made your friend claim Roden's PT-17 is unbuildable. Surely, not shake-and-bake one but it looks very promising. I am currently assembling and treating the joints between the wings and aileron halves as well as cleaning the wealth of interior bits. Quite tedious but nothing unfeasible so far... One just needs to forget, how much spoiled we are by the quality of WNW moulding...

Well, I checked with him again concerning the Roden Pt-17.  He referred me to his youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-euIbPztsGU

That is what I supposed. I have seen this movie and I think he got too much dihedral on the lower wings. And even if the cabane struts are too short, they can be lengthened. I have done things like that before. 😉 Besides, there are a couple of these kits built if you search through the web 🙂

The last touch, the carved propeller. Veneer from KoTeBi and Mr.Decal, the boss plates from spare WNW props, the Boulton&Paul decal from the kit. The Fee is now fully complete  :)

Wherever I look I see all great details. The way how the tailbooms are mounted on the wings, the rigging, the engine...........

I think this is a piece of art.
