And I like your tools, very creative..... I learn from you

Thank you, friends for a good words & your wishes for good speed. I try where that to do in earnestly (serious) and something with sense of humour of course (for example the old fashion tool on a photo attracts me too).

There are small parts and captiousness to technical details underlines a desire to perfect something.

 

Thus, a next step is a painting of cockpit :

A new next assembly step before I start, I need to ask for You all one an answer about some idea.

I am interested in your opinion of possibility to change basic wing configuration (I need to make as a take off or touch down config.) in according with the picture as bellow.

I need to do this change (to cut material off) in the general construction and modify L.E. slats & flaps. What kind of result would you like about it?

I would fully deploy the slats and flaps

I like a fully extend mode too.

Especially for Benedikt.

I think it`s "no turning back" for me.

Great work on a kit so old that it is positively prehistoric! I think the last person to build one of these was probably using flint for tools!

And probably working from instructions drawn on the wall!

May be, but I`m not sure exactly. It is more older then kit from prehistoric cavity and flint epoch also:

Nice work.

Be careful of writing on parts with permanent marker, it can bleed through and ruin your paint job.

I know exactly about this phenomenon. Before painting it is necessary to wipe by alcohol solvent.
