Wow!  Fantastic start, Arnaud!  Beautiful frame work.  What scale is she?
Cheers,
Bud

You have made an excellent start with this build, the frame is exceptional, as Bud asked, what scale is it?

Thanks Arnaud for the box picture, knowing it is a 1:48 scale kit makes the fuselage frame even more amazing, excellent work.

Wow, impressive. I wouldn't have thought by looking at the framework that the kit is 1/48.

Sorry for my bad English  :-X.

Absolutely beautiful.
I love these little details like the PE-spacer on the inside on the plywood decking.  ;)
