Nice progress. I look forward to seeing the finished models. The real aircraft is rather pleasing and the models should be just as pleasing to the eye.

Thank you very much. It really is a very interesting plane, this weekend I hope to make significant progress.

Well friends we are back, after a very busy week.

After building all the small parts of the two planes, we built the wings without any major problems and the fuselage, starting with the cockpit.





We use the internal reinforcement pieces without any major difficulties, it is the toothed trailing edge that needs the most care.















Construction of the cockpit, notice that I trimmed the internal skin to accommodate the gluing tabs.





We inserted the other sections of the fuselage, the D21's engine is the Lorraine Dietrich 12E in "W" (the same as many French planes such as the Wibault 73, Potez 25 and Breguet 19), which gives an extra challenge with the formers, to reproduce the top part of the engine "head", on the fuselage.

Continue.

With all the sections added and the fuselage assembly dry, we will be able to proceed with the general construction of the two planes tonight. We will start by adhering details to the two fuselages. I highlight the designer's meticulous work on the textures, which have differences in the details of the engines of both planes.

So far so good Péricles!

Thanks my friend!

We return to charge on the Dewoitine D21. Last night I worked on the fuselage of the Argentine Army version only, a series of details were added. Tonight the idea is to work on the Argentine Armada machine. A very good model to make.

Looks great, and the step by step images are very interesting and helpful for anyone who wishes to build this model.
