Beautiful work, Przemo... I have a thing for copper, and that tank came out beautifully. Really enjoying following this build, what a gorgeous kit!

Loverly...a shame that copper tank got buried....

Many thanks, everyone.
Some more progress - seams filled and under treatment together with some polishing of 3D print traces, a chain for the magneto switch added, also the lovely resin Spandaus dryfit. I have to say that I am enjoying every bit of this kit. If you deliberate if to get it, I would recommend it without any hesitation.

Looking lovely. My kit is definitely twitching in its box......

Blimey Nigel how many are you going to build? (He says with his tongue firmly in his cheek after a dozen triplanes)

Excellent progress and the MG's look good. I can safely say they will look awesome once painted!

Thanks for the kind comments, folks.

Long break due to holidays is over, and I am back to my bench. Some corrections of gaps between the rudder and the fin done. Also the work on polishing the wing surfaces between the fine rib tapes is going on. Doing this I also decided to remove imho overdone raised detail along the leading and trailing edges of the wings.
The openings in the fuselage are covered in preparation for airbrushing.

I hope you enjoyed your holidays but I am glad they are over because we want to see this build progressing! Nice prep work, looking forward to seeing the paint going on....

Holidays were great, Nigel, thank you.

More cleaning of 3D print traces - one wheel before it and another after it... And I assembled the fantastic 11-cylinder SH engine.

Man, I like that engine. It'll be a shame to burry it in the cowling.

Beautiful, PrzemoL, glad to see that you're able to make improvements even on this masterpiece of a kit!

The difference between a Great Modeler like you, and a Modeler like Me. I would have told everyone what a nice job Aviattic did with the deteriorating fabric wheel cover whereas you fixed them

Excellent progress. The Engine looks to be a Beauty!

Thanks a lot.

Some more corrections - the excessive gaps at the ailerons sides are already cleared, the one on the perimeter of the wheel cover - under construction. I am using a thin plastic profile from Evergreen.
