Many thanks to all, your comments are always highly appreciated!

The engine and the MG's are in place now with a few more details added to the fuselage. The ammo chutes are made from Green Stuff putty and not painted yet.








Cheers

Just gone through this thread from the beginning. Incredible work, thank you for improving my really bad day. This is awesome, I can't get 1/48 to look anywhere near this good.

Many thanks for your positive comments, dear friends!

Lower wings and struts in place now, I started fighting with the rigging using elastic monofilament.

Many thanks for following and leaving such nice comments, Des, Martin and Rick!

This morning I turned the Albie into a biplane, putting the upper wing into place was a tough fight and the result is not fully satisfactory. Learning for the next build, next time I will assemble the parts first using CA, test their fitting and then disassemble again before painting and finishing... Nevermind now, Albie will not be perfect.
