Crazy. Absolutely crazy. i had to switch to 1:32 scale for lack of eyesight, and you pull off those details in braille scale. Stunning.

This is amazing, Ondra.  I didn't think this kind
of detail was possible in this scale.  Wow!

Cheers,
Ernie

Thank you all very much for your generous comments!

RAGIII: You are right, this is really an ultimate compliment, many thanks to you and your wife. 

Here some progress on the fuselage, the engine is glued in place already as I did not figure out any other way to deal with cowling installation.

Same as the others: the detailing in the cockpit is incredible. How do you manage to handle such parts when I already have problems with 1/72 scratchbuilt parts???

Hello everybody,

thank you for your kind and encouraging comments!

I am back with slight progress, I finished sanding and filing of the wings and tail ribs and made wheels. The first layer of surfacer showed several spots to take care of but all in all it looks quite fine. Next step will be detailing on the upper wing (ailerons, openings in the upper wing for aileron controls etc.).

The fuselage also got the first surfacer coat, turned out quite satisfactory as well.
