Lovely paint work on the wing James, it appears your decals went on okay over the corrugations.

Really good work, James. I've always had a love/hate fee feeling
about the Junkers, but in going over your build, I am starting to
warm to the beastie.  Excellent job of the decals on the wing, my friend. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks everyone. I was dreading the decals but they went on great. Used hot water and then added some water to the wing. Got the decals aligned and then tamped down with paper towel. Finall rolled over them with a Q-tip and then rubbed any bubbles out. I was thrilled that they sat so nicely.  Doing some more engine work but nothing worth taking pics yet.

Okay wings on. Next time I wont be so dopey and will leave the outboard wings until the struts are installed. She feels heavy and flimsy so not too much moving about. Just have to get engine done and prop and few other small things and then redo the wheels and rig and she'll be done.

Looking really good James, it is a very heavy model but sits quite comfortably on its undercarriage.

Thanks Des. This has been a nice relaxing build and I'm happy to be getting it done. Cant wait to see her finished though and on display so I can pick up my W.12 and finish it.

She's really looking the business now, James.
Quite an imposing aeroplane.  Looking forward
to the finishing bits.  Good work, my friend. :D
