Thank you.

I may just be on time. Now it depends mostly on how good the fit of struts will be. If I have to correct their length, I will not finish this model before Bytom.

And for the time being - the wash done and varnished. The bits are basically ready for the final assembly.

U/c minus the plough brake complete! The rubber cord suspension from a thread soaked with diluted paper glue added. I need to put the model on its feet to attach the brake at the correct inclination - this soon.
The plan for tonight is also to attempt the assembly of the wing cellule... We will see...

The brake installed. And 4 main interplane struts are being attached using a funny ad-hoc installation of several bottles I had at hand and a heavy spool of soldering wire as a weight to keep the geometry of the upper wings which for now serve only to keep the struts geometry.

Wow Przemo, this is a beautiful and extraordinary  bird.

I see you are ready to get her rigged.

Can't wait to see her in full glory!

What a nice wooden biplane!

Thanks for answering my question regarding the primer, I have overlooked the picture before.
I asked because there used to be a special resin primer from Gunze, but I haven't found it anywhere. If it works as well on resin as the Metal Primer from this company does on metal parts, then I would have liked to test it.
Masking on resin can be risky if the primer does not adhere well enough.

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you, Willem and Frank.

Frank, it seems that this primer holds to resin perfectly. I had no problems with masking, no paint peeling, so I can highly recommend it.

And tonight I finished my Lloyd. A  few photos here, the proper gallery will come soon.
