Those fuselage frames are truly amazing. Such delicate work so neatly done. They will add a super level of detail to your model which will undoubtedly be unique among so many that have been built over the past 60+ years.

The fuselage frame is ready soldered.
Side parts fit well, just are upper and lower cross members not quite running parallel. But I am happy with it. :-\
Now the seat frame is made new. The upper cross member is soldered.

Bravo Martin the frame look very cool.   

You must have nerves of steel as all I could think of was the heat from one solder joint flowing to the next and unsoldering that one.  Every time I have tried to do anything more than a simple sweat solder job the whole thing collapses into a heap.  I never got the hang of controlling the heat flow within the work.  Very nice to see your frame looking so very good.

I don't know how I missed so much of this remarkable thread, Martin, but I'm glad I found it!  Outstanding work of the framing.  This is shaping up to be your best yet.
Cheers,
Bud
