Absolutely nice progress, Yann @yann
For those who know me I always find funny way to hang my model in order to work on them, remember: On the vice with a cardboard of Coke:
An amazing star it is, Yann @yann
Latest progress: Upper and lower wing assembled, air intakes fixed to the fuselage and the 2 halves fuselage assembled. Everything went smoothly, I'm just worried when I will be assembling all those parts and the air intakes cover. That gave me some challenge last time with the BD.

Many thanks for the comments Spiros @fiveten and John @johnb , that's keep the motivation up. By the way John, my wife does not have the same opinion about the star...
This is really nice progress, my friend @yann! Yep, this is a nice (seasonal) Christmas hanger!
The delta looks great, Yann @yann. Better to see it on the workbench istead of in the tree I have to admit. On the bench you can at least make some progress.
Thanks John @johnb and Spiros @fiveten, I didn't make a lot of progress, but succeed to assemble the wings and fuselage.
That is a huge step, Yann @yann Heavy sanding is definitely required.
Nice step, my friend @yann! yep, some filling and sanding is ahead of you...
Fully agree with you guys @fiveten, @johnb. I started the filling and sanding of the wings. So far I'm happy with the result.
Bottom side had the same with the keel and hook which is not yet there (to be make from scratch build)
And today I started the nose. As usual µi didn't want to take any chance, so I glued 2 fishing leads to make sure he will stand on his 3 gears.
Then again filling and later sanding are necessary.
Thanks for passing by.
Lots of improvements, Yann @yann This is becoming a sort of putty monster. But it will improve the end results for sure.
That's some good amount of filling, my friend @yann! Looking forward to see this Putty Queen sanded!
Hello mates, you are fully right on the 'putty monster' and the 'putty queen' @johnb, @fiveten but really it was needed. After using a lot, but a lot of sanding paper (400, 600, 1000, 3000 pad) Here is the result.
In the mean time I succeed to assemble the plexi on the nose for the reco and the flaps.
And eventually masking the canopy and assembling the 1700ltr tanks

That's some serious and effective sanding, my friend @yann! And a great overall progress, too!
