Thanks for the comments, gents.
A small update - not much bench time recently, but a significant milestone!

It's a two-winger.





Also replaced some detail on the underside.



I rebuilt the tail skid mounting for a more realistic attachment.  Oil paint based woodgrain was applied to the skid, so  it's curing now.



Thanks for looking in on this slow build.  After the wing is rigged, the landing gear will be next.

A slow build maybe, but your attention to detail is inspiring. All the small touches are really bringing this alive. Great wood work too.

What Sandy said: slow but steady and superb! She's looking fantastic, Ken.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, everyone.  I will have some more pictures later today.  I am quickly approaching completion with a few remaining details to do.  I have installed the landing gear with the wheels.  The tail skid will be next.  The prop is the next major part to finish.  I'm thinking of making a paper one.

Oh, do please post your progress on that. I remember someone making paper props years ago, but I've long ago lost the references to it and would love to see the process again.
