Thank you, everybody, for your overwhelmingly kind words.

Some more progress...
Decals and wash applied




RAF 1a engine with intake manifold installed




But some bits are still missing, like the valve rockers with their pushrods



and the electric cables (to be made from thin wire or monofilament)

The upper wing put on to get some taste how it will look like later

Truly Awesome Work, Przemo!  You always astonish me with what you are able to do in 1/72 scale!  It looks like you're working on the Roden 1/48 kit.
Cheers,
Bud

Thank you...

A few more steps

Engine complete with valve rockers, pushrods and electric cables, ready to be covered with the top cowl.





Undercarriage attached, glue setting, waiting for the rigging





Night flying gear ready to by mounted




And some woodwork almost ready, one of the struts still calls for the Pitot probe.

Another Stunning update Przemol ! Beautiful prop and struts, and the engine could be mistaken for a much larger scale!!

Prze,
     Wonderful work....... I struggle with ignition harnesses and pushrods in 1:32 Scale, and then I see what you are doing several scales smaller, just amazing! This is going to be even more spectacular when completed.

Thanks, guys.
Ian, I have showed it some time ago, the rockers are PE turnbuckles bent to L shape, the pushrods are pieces of thin wire.
