The wing look terrific, Dave and what a great job of the radiator!

I really like your attention to detail. Thank you for the tip of the Vallejo
paint in the rad matrix. It looks perfect! This is heading for a museum-quality
model. It's a pleasure following you along with the build.

Cheers,
Ernie

Thanks very much Ernie!

The make or break I think will be getting the rigging to look correct.

Gaspatch turnbuckles, Bob's buckles and monofilament standing by!

Very nice it all looks. Going to be a beautiful model to the gallery.
I look forward to the end

The lower wings now have their black crosses applied. I have again left the compass mounting bowl coloured in the camouflage underside blue, to tie in with the surrounding colour.

The observer's seat cushion is added carefully using a pair of long nosed tweezers, and glued in using some tacky white glue and then left to dry....

The leather was painted with oils and left to dry thoroughly, before placing in the cockpit.....

Again she sits on her wheels....

Then an engine appears...

...and then "Herr Flugenmeister" shows up!

But when ist zer flug-machinen going to be ready to fly?

...Sobald der Herr Dave, der Modellbau Meister ihr ruft getan!

The Rumpler is looking so good, Dave. You are making a gem!
"Herr Flugenmeister" is looking very dapper as well!

Cheers,
Ernie

Progress has been slow recently due to work commitments, however I have sprayed the struts and have labelled them all carefully using a small tag of tape. They are all in sets and care must be taken that each strut is placed in the correct locating hole, and the correct way up. Fortunately WNW have designed them so that they cannot really be placed upside down!

Great progress Dave..

Figure looks very good. I've got a couple to paint, but I keep putting it off!

Regards

Guy

I simply love it, Rumplers are so beautiful. I like the figure very much too. His pose is so daring
