Coming together really nicely, my friend @firelockg!

The wings are on and the rigging complete. The model is as good as finished, just a few small decals to apply. So here it is folks in all its errors and mistakes. It was a problem build for me, more competent modellers may find it a challenge worth building . The templates supplied were handy for the job they were designed for , the wing mounting jigs supplied was a great idea and so the top wing was a breeze to fit.

Hey Ian @firelockg, despite the challenges this kit has thrown at you, this is a superb outcome, especially given the scale and the unique paint job required on a Halb.

Outstanding outcome after a bumpy ride - rel skill on show!

An impressive result on this difficult kit, Ian @firelockg

Milan,
It was a very testing kit to build, I think I got away with it.
Paul,
I am happy with the outcome , but I think I shall stick to 1/32 in future.
Spiros,
Certainly a challenging kit, thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you.

Thanks , it was a victory in the end. Lots of luck with your build of this kit Tom, all I can recommend is proceed slowly with caution.
