    some more paint and decal progress
    the factory emblems in the front area are provided as a PE parts but decided o use the decals
    ran out of copper paint, used Vallejo Model Air Rust because it looks metallic and like copper

    to be on the safe side, gonna secure the strut to fuselage joints with CA glue

    Hi Reinhard (@grimreaper): I have always thought this plane looked very elegant, but I would never build it because it would never survive my rough handling during building. I am with John, it really looks fragile right now.

    it becomes more and more fragile..

    EZ Line used for the tension wires
    the two rudder hinges are PE parts, always tricky to work with them an CA glue, as you can see my dad didn´t get them symetric

    0.4 mm plastic rods between the outer main struts

    That is some excellent work done, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Those tiny parts, combined with CA glue, are always tricky to work with. Your dad did a really nice job on them.
