Thank you, everybody for your overly kind comments. Yet, I am glad, that you like my DFW  :D

Just a brief verbal report - the lower wings are already attached, today the fun with struts will begin. And some final work on the propeller, too. Photos will follow soon.

Having included the see-through of the wings' checkers is a very nice idea. I like it a lot.

Thanks, Stefan. I need some positive comments on this, as I am not fully convinced with what I painted.

Well, two busy and straining evenings led to the wing cellule being ready! Yesterday I attached the lower wings and external struts. Today I added all the remaining turnbuckles - after viewing the photos of DFWs, I decided to have all the rigging lines with two turnbuckles each, except for the drag wires, from the nose to rear inner strut tops, which will have one per line, those at the fuselage mounting points. So there were 24+20+2 turnbuckles (four at the cabane tops were already there) and 2 eyelets left for today. All of them were pull-out-tested to avoid bad surprises later. I have also attached the windscreen.
Also some work on the propeller was done, but it is not complete yet - manufacturers decals and the spinner are still to be added.





So if the glue holds well, tomorrow the real fun will start at last - rigging!!!  8)

PS. The mug seen in the photos is the means to align the wings in plan - they were slightly askew. I hope the glue at the struts ends heals the problem. If not, there is still a chance to correct it by appropriate sequence of rigging. I will see for it tomorrow.

Looking awesome as always! With your skills I am sure you will work out the alignment issues  :)

Wow!  This is shaping up magnificently, Przemo!  Rigging will most likely pull the wings into alignment.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Adam, Rick and Bud.

In the matter of fact, after the glue set, the struts were nicely holding the upper wing in the perfect alignment! So I could go on with rigging.

The inner bays and stagger lines almost completed:





And here they are ready and it is already started with outer bays
 



The unusual exhaust stack and the propeller are on, too. The last bits after the rigging is done will be the observer's Parabellum and aerial with its weight under the fuselage. Tommorow!

Man, she's gorgeous, Przemo!  Looks like your Christmas deadline will be met.  I'm out in the garage right now putting paint on the fuselage and wings, so I might make my deadline, as well.
Cheers,
Bud

Outstanding work Przemo! The rigging is terrific as expected. As for deadlines I envy both of you. This will be the first year in quite some time that I will finish NOTHING!

Thank you, everybody, for accompanying me in this build. It is completed now. One photo here, more in the gallery in the appropriate section.
