Thanks to all for the encouraging words on the build so far!
One of the details apparent in the museum pictures from Berlin and the period photos are the small control horns on the tail and aileron areas of the aircraft. One of the models I'd been referencing for my build (Filip Xmald) had a nice representation of these made from 1/48 scale etched metal from "Part" in Poland. I couldn't source this product, so went with Eduard's version...but had no idea how big their 1/32 or 1/48 versions were. Gambling on their 1/32 product, I ordered two frames from Hannants to get enough for the model.
The horns seemed a bit large when I looked at them after receiving my package. After installing them on the tail, they were obviously waaaaay too big and actually looked ridiculous. Swallowing my pride, I dug into my parts bin and discovered some 1/35 German AFV tool clamps. By cutting the hasps in half, and drilling the end holes clean, they made a reasonable facsimile for what I was trying to replicate.
Cheers,
Gary
Eduard's 1/32 control horns seemed excessively large
The locking hasps for the 1/35 tool clamps were used instead.
