Your Fokker looks incredible at the moment. You've made a great progress with your skill, Sergio.

Kacper, Pericles, thank you very much.Position internal wings after battling quite.Well interesting and fun this part, adjust, more adjustments, and before the glue, more adjustments.Not perfect, but it looks pretty good.
What surprised me was the piece to give shape to the root of the wing. Contrary to what usually happens, this piece was much smaller than the base of the wing. I corrected this before hitting, a point in my favor. The stabilizers they do not present any problem, only to observe of several angles by the alineación.Seguiran the external wings, last delicate stage I think.Thanks boys.

Coming along very nicely.

Excellent stuff Sergio. You've probably seen that other current thread regards the difficulties of convincing representations of glazing on card models. Looking at your Fokker I gotta say Gerard's approach looks pretty good to me.

Thank you guys. Garry, I've seen the thread on the subject. Gerard's work in the G1 also pleases me, gave him lights and shadows that make him look good. On the subject I think like PK, I do not care much if you do not get an effect so real, of course, the more real the better, but I know it's very difficult for the designer to achieve that. And to make a transparent canopy, we are not all as skilled as Ronan, for example, what he does in his 1/100 is incredible .

Wings lists. Just some adjustments and fit very well. I thought it was going to be more complicated and it was really simple.

Greetings. Wheels, propellers, escapes, gates, cables. Some wire, sticks, thread and paints.

And the final result. Horrible day at Ezeiza, there is not much clarity in the light of day. Thanks to everyone for the follow-up. Many thanks to Gerard for trusting me to build his design. It is a beautiful plane and it achieved a very satisfactory result. .Thank you all.

Wow! That was my first thought.
Excellent model, Sergio. I follow your model building and I see you're making great progress. Another thing which really makes me happy is that you finally gave us wonderful clear photos with actual colors of the aircraft. Picture 15 is my favorite. Also, I did notice that you've "stolen" my photo background method(cardboard plates) and wheels method. I will always say that this way of doing wheels is the most realistic and it's the best. Really people, don't do wheels like in the instructions, with provided parts. Use only sides and glue them on adequate cardboard and then shape using sandpaper. It's much easier and gives better outcome.
