I can't believe I haven't noticed this one before. As usual your turning it into another masterpiece.

This is looking very nice (but no surprise there......

Thank you but we have to wait to see the final outcome....
The progress on this little is damn slow. But finally, some preparations for the shading.

The engine unit and shading done. Now for some wash to bring out the tiny details of surfaces.

That looks really good, I really like the subtle shading effects. They give a good visual effect without being overdone.

Thank you, Nigel.

More progress.
First, wash is applied

PE control horns attached

Wheels painted, windscreens assembled from PE and acetate

And one more cardboard rig used to assist the assembly of interplane struts - they are not in parallel planes.

And when the glue dried test fit to check the geometry. Acceptable!

Looks good and you're, as always, both doing a fine job and a fine presentation of it.

Is this a completely 3D-printed kit or are there cast elements as well? I've been drawn to Lukgraph's homepage a lot lately, but I'm a bit hesitant about the extra work connected to the 3D-printing technology.

Lukgraph turns to pure 3D pribt, no more cast resin. New kits, including this one are made in this technique, they are replacing selected older kits, too.
My opinion is that 3D print is less cumbersome than cast resin. And also the detail is much finer here.

And in the meantime my PWS became a biplane
