And more preps for the upper wing assembly. The windscreens, the windows and the fuel tank strap attached.

The metal around the glass is remarkable. How is it made, foil, paint, PE?
I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!

Thanks. These are the kit PE bits, airbrushed silver.

Thanks!

Operation upper wing has started! It must be done carefully and without removing the model from the jig, because the connection points between the lower wing and the fuselage are very delicate. I put all my trust in the strength of rigging to tighten it all.

Rigging underway. But the best news is that the lines hold the weight of the wings and reinforce satisfactorily the wing cellule.
