Outstanding work , especially the tones on the wood and fabric fuselage!

Every inch as exquisite as I expected to see, Prze! Excellent work.

Thanks, Rick and Zac.

The nacelle almost buttoned up, except for the pilot seat which will jump in after airbrushing (to save masking it).

Also, from the onset I did not like the overdone linen bands reinforcing the struts. And lo! My example seems not to have them at all. So I am now shaving them from all the struts.

Just beautiful work going on here.  Very inspiring. I’m looking more and more at my 1:72 Roseplane and Formaplane models. Definitely will be referencing this build!

Really nice, Przemo! And you are right, the linen taping seems a little overdone for my eyes, too. But it shouldn’t be a huge problem to thin them down with a sanding stick — even if one doesn’t have to remove them entirely.

Beautiful work so far, I love it.

FWIW, I'm using sanding sticks, etc. on my Eduard Nieuport interplane struts to knock those down as well.

Lovely, immaculate work. It's a pleasure to see this coming together. The kit looks wonderful but the strut linen bands did look a little thick.It must be very challenging to produce a texture like that in scale by injection moulding.

The cockpit Tub and seat look awesome! I Love the leather cushion and contrasting leather belts.

Thank you, everyone.

The tedious cleaning work on the struts is finished. Now it will be about time to think of all those rigging stations.

That was a lot of strut clean up. Have fun preparing for the rigging!
