One of my favorite aircraft Filip, and you're doing a splendid job with it.  ;D. Your mahogany wood grain looks excellent.  Very nice work.

Cheers,

Bob

Beautiful work on the wood Filip, it certainly looks realistic and a great colour.

I`m really glad that you like it!!!
I`ve managed to attach the wing. I had to scratch the struts cause the original ones were extremely fragile and I have broken two of them just by handling the darn things... Not so much work left. I` ve thickened the PE gun rings using the CA glue.
I also have to put some weathering on the exhausts and the cowling. The cowling is something which was and frankly speaking still is a little bit puzzling cause I`ve seen numerous interpretations of which elements were made of metal and which were plywood. Decided to go along with the most popular trend  though ;) Enough talking here what it looks like now:

This is lovely work Filip. The trouble with people like your good self is that by virtue of such skilled builds you make me interested in aircraft I'd never considered. At my age, I'm running out of time.

Best wishes

As you are probably aware Filip, I really like the Lloyd C.V, and you have done a beautiful job with this one.  :D  The mahogany looks marvelous, and the rib shadows in the tail feathers are really nicely done.  I'm looking forward to seeing this one completed!

Cheers,

Bob

Hello Filip:

Really a good job here.  Outstanding workmanship all around, the wood grain is convincing, as Bob mentioned, your rib shading stands out but not overly so.  Your cowling looks great.  You managed to overcome some hurdles and produce an interesting model of a unique aircraft.

Best

Thank you all for your most encouraging and extremely motivating remarks! I hope to see her in finished section in less than two weeks time, if the time allows me.

Oh, my!  She's really looking lovely, Filip.  You've done a remarkable job up to this point.  And congratulations on Poland's gold medal in ski jumping!  The most ballsy sport in the Olympics, without a doubt!  Flying over 100 meters, 15 stories up.  Wow!
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Bud ;D ;D
Those ski jumpers are a little bit mad...  ;) I really don`t know why Poles call football the national sport - we`re trully bad at it whereas ski jumping is our thing. I`m proud of Kamil Stoch and what`s interesting he had a checkers - the symbol of the Polish Air Force on his helmet  :)

I noticed that!  I wonder what his connection is to the Air Force.
