    so, finally starting this thing, which hopefully will be easier than the Dora Wings (AMG) Dewoitine...

    fuselage no closed yet, doesn´t fit together in the forward area, trying to sand down the interior

    started with the engine which has a lot of small single parts still to add

    A bit of sanding will solve the fitting issue, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Looking forward to see that fuselage closed.

    Happens with limited run kits, my friend @grimreaper. You'll surely sort it out. Great job on the engine!

    there are wo PE sripes provided for the windshield to fuselage mounting
    the PE fret is packed rather tightly and cutting off the parts isn´t easy without bending them too much
    tied to cut out one, didn´t work out nicely, decided to use plastic stripes

    so, now he real fun starts, adding the struts...

    there aren´t really alignement helps, holes hardly there or visible, had to use pics of original aircraft for help
