I'm following this topic closely, and I'm thrilled with your mastery in building and modifying this Marek model.
I finally printed out my drawings and want to build my Hansa Brandemburg D1.
I also bought Marek's model, especially to compare the assembly of the star struts.

For the assembly of the model I chose the 28/10 Brumowski aircraft.

Oh My!!!!  THAT is the one I've been waiting for.  I remember seeing your drawings at the beginning but thought that maybe the project was shelved. I was thrilled to see the new Marek design but also thought about what could have been using your design. 

 Oh, Man...SIGN ME UP FOR A SALE!

Looks amazing.  Much better linen treatment than mine.  And the translucence is top notch. 

Please keep going.

A little update:  Here she is thus far.  Added the rads, hoses, landing gear and tail skid.  All it really needs is some rigging on the landing gear struts, bungees, a prop and the baby coffin/top wing gun.  Oh...and a windscreen and wheels/tires.  Really close now!

Thanks for looking, one and all.

Looking good. I am really impressed with those struts, they look fantastic in situ. This really looks like a Starstrutter!
