Thank you, again. Your fantastic comments are indeed what I need at the final stages of this build.

The recent steps were as follows:
- the interplane struts wood-painted, marouflage-decalled, varnished and then glued into sockets with the top wing put on without glue to control the geometry
- the four wireless aerials along the cabane struts
- the top wing; this time everything went smoothly, I am glad I did not mess up that 10 points of glueing (good omen in the light of Felixstowe build looming  ;))
- the rigging of cabane and here I almost overestimated my skills with tweezers - I was really hard put to it to get those 12 cables tight
- the remaining rigging lines were almost a piece of cake
- a few bits on the nose (aiming devices, rear-view mirror, windscreens)
 
This is most surely the last in-progress report. I am left with the observer's guns and the additional external wind-driven generator visible on the starboard lower wing in one of the photos of my Salmson. Thank you for watching and supporting me!

Outstanding Prez! Your rigging is looking terrific and of course as I said before the painting is Superb!

Hi Przemo,

This is such a gorgeous build. It seems with every build you do, you raise your skills a bit higher, and I wonder where all this is going to end. It is a real promotion for the Salmson aircraft and I think many modelers will be thinking now to start their build too. Wonderful!

Kind regards
Patrick

In the home stretch now Prze. You've done an outstanding job with your Salmson.

Cheers,

Chris

Congratulations Przemol, well made Salmson. Post-war period is not what excites me much but I still have a soft spot for a white-red checkerboards.

Again, many thanks for your kind words!

And the build is completed. Thank you, also, for your nice company in this journey, especially to Chris for his parallel build, to guitarlute for his recently restarted build and most especially to Rowan for making it possible to build this model in Polish markings (by producing and generously presenting me the fine decal set!).

As usual, one photo here, more in the gallery.
