Tail feathers on.
Machine Guns installed.
Wind Screen installed - reduced the thickness of the screen by scrapping with a no15 blade, polished with many grades of micromesh and then dipped in Klear. 
Tail skid installed.
Control horns installed with eyelets.

Slowly coming together, my friends  ;)

Hi Patrick,
 Before the struts lock home I intend to rig the upper wing first. Saves loads of grief later on.  ;D

Cheers,
B

She's loking really sharp Bob!  Your paint work and masking are excellent.  ;D  I really like Pfalz (or should the plural be Pfalzen?  ;)) ion the MFJ silbergrau and yellow trim.  Exceedingly well done my friend.  Keep going!

Cheers,

Bob

Beautiful paint work, Von Maestro!  I love the silbergrau and yellow. Thank
you for the tip on thinning the windscreen.  She's already gorgeous and getting
better as you go.  Buckle on, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
