Next are the wheels and motor radiator.

Many if not most starch builds are extremely hard to say the least. As a novice builder it always blows my mind what a paper builder goes through in the build of a model such as this. I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to start. Modelers such as your self are a amazing group of people in my thinking. Then there are those who do the plans for other modelers so they can build it. Another group who are gifted. I look forward to seeing when complete. Thank you very much for sharing. Best of luck. wc

Thanks Wad Cutter for your very kind words. Happy to see that you like this model. Scratch building is always a challenge, but a very interesting one.

That is a beast of details, nicely done, Sir.

Thanks Dan, Mike1158 and MichaelS.

I wish it can go faster, but working this model only on weekends.

Working now on small parts... sometimes they are consuming more time than the big parts.
The Lewis machine gun on top the wing is done, and the radiator is ready and bonded.

More small parts in work...
