THANKS Krzychu74. This model is a joy to put together. Everything fits almost perfectly. I haven't built many paper models yet, but I think this one is tops for me so far...well done and keep designing, PLEASE!
I worked on the top wings so now the main airframe is practically done. Again, the parts fit was near perfect and the center section with all the little cuts that I was dreading, turned out pretty nice (for me). My only mess ups were the top wing tips but I think that will come with more practice. I can't believe how straight and strong these are. Now I can't wait to start putting the wings on (after I add the wind screen!)... Cheers, Dan Last edited by smithdr; 10-09-2017 at 10:46 PM. |

Thanks for taking a look YOAV...
So tonight I got the wings attached after a lot of careful alignment and a super expensive jig. : First, the struts are all impregnated with some wire. And here is the jig with the tiny cabanes inserted. And here it is midway through attachment. And finally with the bottom wings on and all struts added. Some touch up and I did manage to swap a strut but that was all fixable. All in all, it's straight and will look cool on some landing gear. Quite pleased at this point. Cheers, Dan |

Everything looks good. Those struts were a real bird cage!

Very, very nice build. You're inspiring me. If I wasn't in the middle of nine other builds at the moment I'd get right on it.

All,
Thanks Don and MrConk..this is a really precise and fun model to put together. She is all ready, rigged and waiting for wheels, the engine, cowling and machine gun. I think it would have been a neat little mite to fly. I only can't figure out where a bit of rigging goes around the cabanes but I'll see if I find some more info. If not, she still looks the part. I also went too fast on the spreader bar and didn't notice that it actually has some stream lined tear drop shape to it...next time... And here's my helper. He is always very interested especially when thin wire and rigging is involved! Thanks for looking, Dan |

Hello!
Ha! Now I know why you glue so excellent. Having such a construction menager over myself, I would also make models so good. Mystery solved About the rigging between the wings, they probably were not (so there are so many brackets). Unfortunately there is very little information about this plane. Maybe picture of original will help you. Best regards.

Great images, Krzysztof. Don |

The "helper" looks definitely interested
You cut the strut wires inside the paper cover? I tend to let them extend a couple of mm, in order to penetrate as much inside the wing/fuselage. It may not be as clean but I find that it eases the gluing task. It is also stronger, which might be helpful on larger planes. |
