With the Brandenburg D.I finished, it is time to move on with this project, I added a few detail to the fuselage and pilot seat.

And here the basically finished fuselage sides:

You are doing an amazing job Ondra especially in such a miniature scale, the seat and seat belts are incredible.

Absolutely marvelous modelling in an absolutely micro-scale. One question, that internal rigging on the fuselage sides - is it pencil drawn or are there real lines?

[ondra]

Thanks for the nice comments, guys!

@Przemol: There is real rigging on the fuselage sides, I used the elastic fibre by Uschi van der Rosten (the extra fine one), I was surprised by myself how thin it is and that it is suitable even for this small scale.

Thanks for the answer, Ondra. You are building an amazing model!

[ondra]

Perhaps this attempt on the engine will turn out better than the previous ones...

Thank you all for your nice comments, they are highly appreciated.

After test-fitting the engine under the cowling, I found out that only 3 cylinders will be visible, so I decided to cheat a little bit. Please do not tell on me. The push-pull rods and the intake manifolds are only on these 3 cylinders, the rest will be basically completely hidden under the cowling.

And a little progress on the interior, just a few details to be painted and I can assemble all parts and close the fuselage. I love the Nieuport XI for its simplicity in terms of interior equipment!
