Lovely precise modelling. I really like you clean approach with most of the weathering and panel lining applied towards the end of the process.

Weathering complete. The final assembly begun. Cabane struts are glued and the upper wing dryfit, to get finally the taste of Falco's biplane nature and to ensure the geometry. Actually, the latter is not difficult - the struts have deep solid endings fitting perfectly the deep sockets in the fuselage and wings.

Wows all round! I really think you have the most realistic and effective treatment of rib tapes and panel lining that I have seen, great work.
