Wow!

The interior looks beautiful, and as others have said, very true to life.  This is quite an impressive build.  Congratulations!

Great build!!! :) and what a shame that you will cover both engines...still love how the engine is in full details even though you wont see anything of it...it's like with all WNW cockpits :D

Jean-Luc,
It's a pity to hide the engines however I understand that you want to preserve he line of the aircraft. It's often the problem with a model. We would like to see all the details but the aircraft is more beautiful when everything is closed.

Not throwing tomatoes!!! :) I'm sure that plane will not deserve such a thing... It is your plane and I believe it will look great in way you want it ;) and I agree that most of time planes look better with all covers on but with my builds I just need to have them open otherwise I would feel bad about myself(maybe bad ego???) doing "so much" work for something that my eyes can't see :D but that's my point of view.

hi all

here is the following

the mats between the wings are in place

no particular Difficulty

I let the wing supperior up time that mats are fixed only on the lower wing could well dry

it could have be hell as stage but thanks to the precision WNW is a detail of construction











see you soon

Great progress, Jean-Luc.  The Gotha is really a massive, but magnificent
aeroplane and you are doing a wonderful job of the model. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

This is looking really good Jeanluc. The precision engineering Wingnuts put into producing their kits certainly makes life easy for us modelers.

thank you friends

and here is what I'm going to spend the next sceance of workshop:

eyelets for tie downs shrouds

I show you my method that n is probably not a reference

for that you need me

an old SCART cables

scissors has a very fine nose

micro drill

pliers to clamp

and a drill bit holder



I recovered in the cable the thinnest strand






on the drill door I get a drill 0.40 mm to al



the wire is bent on the drill



the wire is caught firmly in the clamp has clamping and the latter is locked





it only remains to have the clamp trourner



and here is almost done



and here it gives AC will further cut once the stem at the last moment



and still make a hundred ........................

Have a look here Jeanluc  http://www.ww1aircraftmodels.com/page47.html  I make all my own eyelets and find this method extremely simple and fast.

Yes. I have to agree. Des' method works much faster.
