Thank you, gentlemen.

Well, the speed has actually slowed down. I found a problem with interplane struts - they are about 2.5mm too short. I am working on the replacement. Also another small side project took the space at the bench. And the long awaited winter/summer holidays are coming - I will surely return to this build but not earlier than in February...

Just went through this build log from the beginning. I can't say enough about how beautiful this one is!

@PrzemoL
This is going to be a beautiful model - great what you are creating here, excellent work as always from you.

I have the full-printed version of the Halberstadt D.II from Lukgraph on my shelf - unfortunately I'm not very convinced by the quality of the kit, but that's another story.

Finally back to this build.

Restart with the interplane struts - new set of too short ones, each cut into two, plastic insert, wire reinforcement, cleaning of the joints, skewing of the ends to adjust them to the inclined connection with the wings, airbrushing, and a ready new set of 8 pieces, lengthened by 2.5mm each.

Your struts look absolutely perfect, Prze. That seems like an incredible amount of work to correct the dimensional error. Hats off to you.
Cheers,
Gary

That is superb modelling. And the wood finish is totally awesome, bravo!

Thanks for your kind comments.

Yesterday I made a cardboard jig and today I took my courage to connect the lower wings with the fuselage. The joints are minimal, so I suppose it will need all the struts, the upper wings and the rigging, at least the landing lines, before I can safely take it from the jig.

Thank you.

Small but significant progress. Cabane struts attached. The centrepiece just rests dryfit to keep the geometry.
