Looks like we're both up early when it's nice and quiet. Gary S.

I got my 3 S done already. We have our Modelers Alliance conference call this AM.

Reattached the axle wing, hopefully I won't break it again, and painted the underside of the wing.
I guess I'll do the guns next. Lot's of small PE parts. Oh joy. Gary S.

Switching to guns and I didn't drop any parts on the floor. Gary S.

@centaur567, those are the kit guns with PE ventilated covers? Nice!

Yep, I found that if the covers are annealed first that they bend without flexing. Gary S.

Drew on the belly lacing with a fine tip Sharpe. The only rigging to do is for the flight controls and the landing gear struts. Managed to get one end of the wires glued. Now they have to set before pulling on them. Decals were also placed on the wing. Gary S.

That's the way to do it Gary.

Almost done. The finish line is in sight. wings, wheels, skid, carburetor inlets and all flight controls are installed. Some touch up is still needed. Started painting the prop which needs some light sand ing and a coat of clear yellow.

It's DONE and in the display unit. The marking I choose were that of Oblt. Erich Lowenhardt, because I built a DVII with his markings a while ago. I would include a picture of it but it's pack up because we are moving to a new house soon which might curtail near future building. Anyway I included pics of the box art and of the person.

Way to go Gary. Congrats on a completion. Not a subject seen often. Well done!
Good luck on the move!
