Beautiful work, Prze.  Quite an achievement even now with the wing rigging done.
Are the wings and struts stable for handling now that they are rigged?
  Your weathering on the wings looks superb.  I'm very interested in the
upcoming updates, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you, again, for your kind words.

Ernie, the wing cellule is now very rigid, the rigging does its job. As a structural engineer I theoretically know the function of bracing cables quite well. But seeing how they work marvels to shaky wing-struts-wing structures never ceases to amaze me!  ;)

Prze,
     This little jewel looks better with every update. Great painting and shading, wonderful work on the weathering, and, despite the obstacles, a fine job of rigging. Very impressive so far, and I'm much looking forward to the completion.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks, Lance and Steve.

Next steps:
I have painted and oil-stained the tail booms, then rigged the mid spans, glued them to the wings and then rigged the front spans. Sounds easy but the key was to control the degree of rigging, checking the geometry of the booms and struts. For a moment it seems, the tail is symmetric, but there is still a couple of lines which may distort it. However, I will attach the tail piece first. It is still not painted, so this will be the next step...






BTW, I have also added the missing blip switch on the stick.

Well done Prze!  This all looks very daunting to me, all the more so because this kit is near the top of my current build list.  Yikes!  Your weathered booms and rigging look superb.   ;D  Very well done!

Cheers,

Bob

This is beautiful work Prze. It really has the 'wow' factor and with all of the recent Eindekkers around the forum we really need a DH2 to sort them out.

Best wishes

Hi Przemo,

It's such a beautiful interior really magnificent. And as Adam said the rigging is fabulous. A stunner!

Kind regards

Hello Prez:

I echo the other sentiments here.  Boom Weathering, interior, wing and fuselage, all outstanding.  Looking forward as you progress on to the next step.

Best
