Prze,
    Just simply magnificent! The quality defies the small scale, truly a spectacular result, and not yet completed. The stitching has really caught my interest as I have several Builds in mind that they would really enhance, I've book marked the link for the future.
    I really look forward to seeing the completed project.
Cheers,
Lance

Prze,
       Watching your builds is always a joy, and they inspire me to get busy on my workbench. I can't wait to see you attach that top wing, thread the rigging, and watch you paint the top wing.

Now there's a cat's cradle! Good luck with sorting that lot out when the top wing is on - at least there is order there - just need to find it!

I have no idea how you manage to sort out that rigging - I could guarantee getting at least a couple of wires crossed over....

Thanks for watching and comments.
Sorting out these rigging lines is not that difficult. Once the top wing is on, the point is to start with the innermost ones - cabane, stagger and then the innermost ones from double flyings wires , parking wires and outer from doubles. One after one after one. It is doable. I pull them through the holes first, then, when all of them are so sorted, I start tightening.
Hope this makes sense.

Looking spectacular Przemol, the painting is excellent and the stitching is superb, looking forward to seeing all that rigging put in place.

What a treat for the eyes, Sir!

Reference quality stuff. This is an invaluable resource for building this kit up right, and when I get one or two of these, I will be referring to it often!

Wonderful work. The rigging is going to be very impressive when finished.

Thank you...

The work goes on.
The upper wing went on, I used the cabane struts and the outermost interplane ones first, had to correct a slight "crossing of the wings in the plan view. When the glue set I have squeezed the inner interplane struts, then sorted out the rigging lines pulling one after one through their holes in the upper wing. Then I started the tightening, first with cabane lines, then the outer stagger ones and the inner bays parking wires.





Then the inner stager wires, the inner bays flying wires and the outer bays parking wires





And the remaining ones will follow soon.

The rigging is coming together beautifully Przemol, it will be a delight to see once the rigging is completed.
