The phisical form of the lower wings is finished. Now I must draw the places were the interwing struts go, and place one access door in the right wing root.
Small details that can be made today. A non-relevant problem is that I'm low in aluminium paint, and due to quarantine I don't think I'll can buy more for a while, soo... let's see what happens. Worst case, I'll let the lower wings unpainted for a few months You can see the elbow in the leading edge, and the straight line in the trailing edge.

Thanks, Rifleman, Thanks Diego, Thanks, Gary!
At last I had time to finish the lower wings! When Diego was betatesting, he told me that the inner reinforcements of the wings where too difficult for a beginner modeler. So, I'll make two sets of parts for the wings, one simpler, another reinforced. Next step for my model is going to be to finish the painting details, some sanding, and the placement of the lettering (BN L) and serial number in both sides of the fuselage. The real lower wing underside was painted in aluminium (over fabric) without badges, but as I said, I'm low of aluminium paint so I'll let them unpainted for the moment. Meanwhile, next step for the model to be released is going to be improving the assembly instructions, designing the upper wings, next the engines and last the wingtip floats.

Still designing the upper wings. They are almost finished, just need to print the first try and be sure all the dimensions are ok.
Anyway, this weekend the upper wing must be assembled and painted. If you see the instructions sheet, I'm going to release both sets of wing ribs: the easier, less resistent, and the heavy duty, designed to resist 30 years. I hope the modelers can understand that you must use one set or another.

Thanks, Mike, thanks rifleman!
The assembly process of the upper wings is easy and straightforward. I included two small supports to give the section the right diedral. Love how easy it went! Now comes the usual paint for my models, and latter, of course, the engines, struts and wingtip floats. The wing is true to the specifications by 1 mm of difference from tip to tip, so I'm happy with the result. So... YES! I LIKE IT!
