Watching with interest Prze. I like that you are fixing the wing in the high position.  We don’t see this modeled often.

Thank you, all of you!

The work on the interior is well advanced...

A couple of successful steps made.
First, the fuselage with a few not too well fitting bits assembled, seams filled and sanded, almost ready.




Secondly I am glad to discover that the engine cowling after some scraping inside to thin the walls is able to house the Taurus Ur.0. It is welcome because I was not to happy thinking it would be necessary to have the cowling off. It is of crescent type so lots of the fine Taurus resin will be visible and the complete outline of the nose will be preserved in my model.

Lovely work as always Prze, and it's interesting to see the work involved in changing the wing placement.

Thank you  :)

More work done. Rigging stations mounted including the replacement of plastic turnbuckles at the cabane pyramid which I am afraid maybe torn by the rigging line.
Also the PE bits attached including the Parabellum barrel and a couple of panels.
Aiming at the nearing painting.

Metal panels painted. Cowling, engine and prop attached tentatively to have more taste of the complete model.






Now for the Fokker grey.

It is the same method which worked so surprisingly fine in my Taube build.
