Thanks, UFAG, Adam, Steve and Mike for you comments.
Mike, it was not at all difficult to pass the control lines through the openings in the fuselage just before closing it. My two hands were more than enough

Outstanding interior as I said before! Looks terrific all closed up and in place!

The interior is absolutely brilliant. I really like the way you reproduce leather - it`s very convincing.

A brief report from quite long tedious work. Cleaning the parts, removing injector marks from the engine cowlings (I have decided to mount the bottom and side ones and leave the top ones off), drilling the holes for rigging, inserting 110 Bob's eyelets, checking them for pull-off, three sessiong of filling and sanding of fuselage seams. Reinforcing the ailerons, elevators and rudder joints with pieces of wire. Degreasing the surfaces with mild detergent. And finally the elements are ready for airbrushing!!!

Great work Przemek - 110 is a hell lot of eyelets. I wouldn`t expect to use that many for the Bristol. Keep up the good work!

Terrific prep work! 110 is a lot. I guess I will have a lot of holes to drill when I get around to mine

Great work so far, Prze. And good timing too, since I started this kit a few weeks ago. I'm looking forward to following your build and picking up on some tips as I work along with mine, too (along with a DFW late at the same time).

Hopefully I can post a few pics of my builds soon

Cheers,
Gary

Your efforts will be rewarded in the end. Looking really good. Look forward to next update.

Ah, very nice! Yes, a LOT of eyelets!

Thanks, gentlemen for your kind comments.
Gary, I am looking forward to see your builds. I may be able to see what I have done wrong in mine

Honestly, I was also surprised to count 110 eyelets. But then, if you think of double flyings wires, two bay wing cellule, it suddenly becomes evident.

Exactly that amount of eyelets and rigging has kept me away from saving up for a Bristol... (saving for a Snipe now) You make it look easy -when I try to make close ups of my work there are always glue fingers, damages and other mischiefs showing up.

great thus far , cheers

Thanks.

Jeroen, sorry to say this, Snipe with basically the same wings arrangement as Bristol will have the same number of eyelets necessary. And it will be more cramped due to smaller dimensions... If you wish to escape rigging, go for German designs.

One difference. The Snipe doesn't have any Double wires
