Hello,
thank you all for your encouraging words! You are really kind!
A little update from my side:
I soldered a tail boom which was not half as difficult as I was afraid of. Sadly then I run out of the propper brass rod for the second one. This one will be the difficult one for it must be 100% symmetrical to the first one.
I made some minor progress on the nacelle too...
... and made resin copies of proper wheels (from eduards Nieuport 11/16 kit. Because I'm not good at resin casting and it can be an expensive issue when it comes to the price of the silicone, I prefer using some weekend-editions as spare-parts sources. But the Nieuport 11/16 kit is not available at the moment and because I need 4 wheels for my MF 11 I didn't want to plunder two kits.).
Well, now it would be like a normal kit built.
And then I had to realize that the only son of my mother is an IDIOT: I was really happy to have the wings as smooth as I wanted them (which took several steps of Mr. Surfacer, sanding, polishing, finding faults, Mr. Surfacer again... sanding... I did that on several frustrating evenings) and it was all done in vain: I then had to accept that I relied too much on my scale plans of the MF 11 and didn't check the pics of my original plane that I wanted to portray: These wings had a curved cutout at the rear, not a rectangular one like I made for my wings. DOUH!!!!!
Now I need a break from that project. I have to finish my Albatros C III and ther are some 1/32 kits that detract me from this MF. It will be better when I leave it for a while and then to get back with fresh energy. I'll make the best of it, add some plastic for curved wingtips after I installed the roots for the tail booms, and go on finishing that. I went to far and I like the MF 11 too much to drop that project. But now I need a break.
