Thank you, everyone. Yesterday night I also managed to build the engine into the truss, which had to be detached from the left side fuse half to allow adding some weathering, a couple of fuel connections and the throttle linkage. Then the last glimpse and the fuse was closed. I suppose I will leave the engine covers off so that one can catch a glimpse of these engine details. Now for some minor treatment of seams.

Beautifully clean work, Prze. You're well on the way with fastening the fuselage together!

Fantastic progress. It’s tempting me to drop my other projects and pich up a Walfisch immediately....

Many thanks, everyone for another bunch of kind comments.

And here I am in the preparation phase, for colours I mean. Cleaning of all the elements, filling gaps in joints, preparing rigging stations... Among the latter I decided to replace the flat imitations of turnbuckles in those fancy undercarriage rigging bits with Gaspatch parts. The rigging on this bird is not too complex, only 20 turnbuckles all around. I have also made some surgery with the engine covers, thinning them down. They will definitely be left aside the model except for the rectangular cover for carburettor inspection.
And now to wash the surfaces and warm up the airbrush!

After some days of play with airbrush I can finally present my colours for your acceptance. I always want to model something untypical, so I opted for this non pale blue Roland. What do you think about this pale cream/linen version?








Now for shading of the upper cross fields and some wash and to final assembly!
