Hello,

You remember that one? I had to blow off a lot of dust from that shelve queen, but some progress is done now:




After starting a long paint job on the wings I attached the lower wings, the landing gear and the middle part of the upper wing. It took some time to get it look straight, but now I am quite happy with it. i decided to go with the kit‘s interplane struts.
Here a dry fitting of the rest of the upper wing and the tail booms. Everything seems to fit like it should. pew...! Now I have to finish much shading on the rudders. That bird is large, I think it’s the largest model I built to date and I‘ll rig her in steps as soon as possible as handling her is not that easy...



Best regards
Andreas

I just read through from the first post to the last. I like your instructive style of posting! Great work!

   Very nice to see this beauty back in the spotlights, Andreas. It is a big unwieldy model to finish, and the delicate nature of it's construction adds to the challenge. Outstanding work and results thus far, and a great Build Log to follow.
Cheers,
Lance

Superb piece of modelling Andreas, Cockpit is really beautiful.
I have this one in the stash too and will come back to your build whenever i will start mine for some reference sneaks....
Interesting to see that you use the vertigo jig, what are your impressions so far, is it a useful tool?

Cheers

Hi Andreas,
Lovely work, great colours!
Regarding the tail booms I could recomment you to use a thin fishing line instead of elastic rigging. On my Fe the tail boom is a bit wobbly. The elevator and the rudder is a bit heavy for those thin booms.
Bye,

Copy that remark on rigging. In my opinion the use of structural rigging in this model is an absolute need!

And great to see you back at this model. I love Fees!

Great work, Andreas.  That's going to be one complicated rigging job.

The problem with a Well Done conversion is Not Many will even Notice how much you altered the kit! Brilliant work and I am looking forward to seeing the rigging!

Really good progress there Andreas. Wonderful to see a 2d conversion too - apart from a few afficionardos I wonder how many people know of this variant? As Rick has remarked, because your conversion work is so good I suspect that many observers will assume that it is just another 2b!

Dear Fredrik, Lance, Hans, Manni, Przemo, kensar, Rick and Stephen, thank you very much for your friendly comments. It’s great to have you on board!

I‘d also like to express my gratitude towards Mr. Spider-Man. His help rigging this beast is highly appreciated.
I used my beloved 0.14 mm fishing line for the structural rigging and invisible nylon thread for the rest.




It is going to need some time for painting all the little details and touching up minor misshaps. Prop and Lewis MGs at last.


Best regards
Andreas

Brilliant Andreas!

Looking at all that rigging makes me feel slightly queasy...

Ps if I were your mother, I’d tell you to clean up your workbench!

Beautiful Andreas, she is coming along quite nicely (what else would I expect from you).

Spectacular!
