Hi Edubarca ,

Thank you ! Itīs true what you say about the Details , I like the bird the way he is .

Hello !
Fuselage 4 with tab and thin paper on the openings prepared.
This makes the openings easy to cut. The right window does not fit at all. This must be extended to the top.
Due to the changeover from frame / frame to frame / flap method some changes have to be made.
The frame 4a I move 4 cm inwards.
It was a difficult birth - the assembling of the hull parts 3 +. 4
For the fuselage part 5, I stick first on the tab, then the divided frame inside.

Kind regards
Kurt

Hello !
After a small break, we continue.

The rotating mechanism of the lower ball MG must be installed before closing the fuselage. The largest trunk part is 28 cm long.
I reinforce the spur wheel box before it is installed.
The opening behind it is to hang a wire hook around the "bird" on it. Due to the tab in part 5, the rib 6a is displaced inward about 5 mm. At the rear again an extra flap and fin 6b plan just install. With the parts 7 + 8 the trunk is closed to the rear. Whereby we again have twice the wrong part designation. Now the hull is completed backwards .

Kind regards
Kurt

You may be running into problems Kurt but your ability to work through them is quite good as is the quality of your work.

Good progress Kurt, you're very creative if it comes to solving "challenges". It's a spectacular model, so it's worth all your efforts.

Cheers,
Erik

Hello !
Thanks to Elliot and eric

The frame for the side rudder is pulled on 0.9 mm fin cardboard and glued together. The first side glue with 1 mm overhang on the frame.
A size comparison with the Me 109 by GELI.
The side trolley is finished with the glued part 10.
Now a picture with the entire fuselage.

Kind regards
Kurt

Looks like you're gonna have to hang it somewhere, rather than placing the finished model on one of those shelfs !

Regards,
Erik

Hello !
The Covering of the rear MG article is added with small flaps together.
The whole is placed under the rudder.
Since there are again great inaccuracies, there must be some corrections here.
The finished side rudder is not yet fixed.

Kind regards
Kurt

Fantastic job. Congratulations. You are an artist, not a common modeler.
