I'm not taking notes.
You don't need to because a bookmark on the build report is enough, or sounds it to complicated?

Struts, and the wing painting are both gorgeous Frank! Really taking shape now!

Frank, I just stumbled about this thread...

o... m... g...

I couldn't imagine doing that strut scratch work in 1/32. With real wood. Incredible job. You have my honest admiration!

Best Regards

Thank you very much!

Really taking shape now!
Oh yes Rick, I really like the moment, where the different subassemblies are coming together :)

Coming along beautifully.
Giuseppe, I'm really curious to see how the different colours like the PC8 and the grey work together!

And out of the sudden you have a kit equalled only by Wingnuts... great results!
I really like the Eduard kits and with some fine tuning you can get a very nice result 8)
The 1/48 scale is the best for me: more details possible as in 1/72, but the final result is not that big. The WNW models are simply to big fro my space.

Thank you for your kind words!
The real wood airscrews and struts are my "Trademark", nearly all of my models are equipped with those parts. And often also metal work, e.g. landing gears.
I think that details makes the difference so that my Halberstadt CL.II and the Bristol Fighter was awarded with the Gold medal on the Euro Model Expo end of March. Really pity that you missed that!
If you have some time you should look into my other threads.

I think I can show some more ...

Cheers,
Frank

Hear hear, the struts alone are magnificent and so effective. And what a great catch on the MG mount!

You may end up being a famous German painter yet.  Nice job on the number.
Does the pre-shading come through on the fuselage?  Looks difficult to tell in the picture.
