Wow, Jörg, that looks simply fantastic! The Ratsherrn Halbe is really well deserved. Great build of a great kit.

This is truly an exceptional build!! One that I am using as inspiration for my own ongoing build of this aircraft.
There is one area where I am a bit flustered with. That is the rigging for the control lines that originate in the pilot's nacelle. The diagrams show external views but nothing in there. Did you take any pictures of this area that you might be able to share?

thanks
Rick

So thank you much for all the nice words!

@ Rick (desjardi): sorry, I´ve no pictures from the control lines in the cockpit, there are PE parts at rudder bar and control stick, so you have no problems.

Prop painted, floats weathered









Some details added: upper wing dynamo, spool for the wireless aerial and tachometer









I try to make a little display for the Hydravion, it takes some time before acrylic gel has dried...

 



(That´s the "Malaula way" to build a seaside Display  ;))

Cheers,
Jörg
