Looking absolutely beautiful Przemol, the fuselage painting and the lozenge decal are superb, this is a very stunning model.

Thank you, gents.
Stefan, I know that the eyes are debatable, at least. But I do like this little nice touch, they really add some more charm to this bird.

In the meantime... almost there! This is definitely the last in-progress report.
The followed steps were:
- aileron control lines
- fuselage-top wing cables
- propeller
- ailerons
- 12 of the remaining 14 rigging cables
- the radiator shutter control cable (this was a chain as per the WNW instructions but I had no way to model a chain, I used a tin wire to imitate something of this sort :-[)

Hello Prez:

Another outstanding build!  This is a very attractive scheme, even though it is all black the contrast with the Edesweiss, the lozenge and white tail, make it very attractive, your highlighting the wood on the fuselage make it really stand out.

Best

I've always believed that the Roland D.VI looked best in it's natural, unpainted form, but you've made a believer of me.  I love your rendition of this scheme and when I do my dual D.VI build, you can bet one will be in these markings.  Outstanding work, as always, Prez!
Cheers,
Bud

Very nicely built, PrzemoL.
Your Edelweiß Vogel looks realy great.

Do you already know news to the original wings in Krakow Museum?
How far is progressed the restoration of the original D.VIb fuselage?
