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!
