Phew! Slick and smooth, Erik. I really like the way she's coming together. I need to make my Halinski Desert Spit!
Keep up the great work! Dan P.S. It will look great next to that Junkers...just sayin'!

Nice to watch this coming together in the hands of a professional....
When building the fuse on this one you can induce a little curve in fuselage because it’s so narrow, yours looks dead on

The wings - Part 1
Hello gents, again thank you for your reactions and kind words. I agree that not only the builder but also the designer should get praise, perhaps even more!
A special note to Dan (smithdr): Chances of reviving the Ju-88 project have increased quite a bit, so don't worry... .The journey continues with the wings. First comes the wing structure, which consists of a healthy number of spars, wing profiles and reinforcement parts. Luckily, to help the correct V-shape of the wings, the main spar is one part, and starting from the center section onwards the build-up grows towards the wing tips. At the wing roots, trailing edge, you may notice the hollow curve at the bottom side, which is not a particular common feature I have seen at other aircraft models. Flap details are included in the model and I intend to build them in the "full flaps" position, which is actually almost fully vertically opened. When dry-fitting the structure to the fuselage, there is no doubt as to where the wings have to be exactly positioned. This appeared to be problematic during the Orlik Hurricane build two years ago as I recall. Another example of the well-thought design of this model. The situation as shown in the pictures will be different from the final one, as the wing skins are still missing. The structure will be fully clad with the wings skins first and only then the entire assembly will be attached to the fuselage. So, the dry-fit is just an impression. The Spitfire really takes shape now! Erik

Hello Erik,
I have always loved planes with a dihedral angle to the wings. Nice to see that come out now!

at this stage you can see how humongous the wing to fuselage fillet is going to be. I really wonder how much extra drag would have been induced with no or minimal fillets. But then it would take away from the elegance of the Spitfire.

The wing skins are challenging in design on this model difficult to get the leading edge as good as one would like....at least for me anyway, quite a lot of force to separate when folded down all the way.

Looks Awesome, Erik! Definitely a Spit!
Based on my limited experience with the Halinski P-40, that fillet will turn out great. Just take your time. Ju-88! Sweet.... Dan
