The axle wing was a one piece item built around the axle. Thats why the item had the extra support struts seen on 450/17 & 470/17.

Sorry Stephen for my late reply.
At this build time I will not change it now.
But have you some technikal Skins about this photo?

It went even further back. In addition to the painting of the surfaces, tail and other things.
Have I built from pine strips a Jack Stand and brake pads for this plane.
Unfortunately, the steel wire lies not solder even after several attempts. That's why I started from brass wire to solder the body cage. The first side is finished and the other I started with the remaining wire. New wires are ordered.

Martin,

Incredible work you are doing here. I'll be watching.

I am always amazed and gratified by what folks are willing to do with these old models.

Thank you for your compliment Frederick.

Here's the latest from my soldering artwork (small update, and how I did it).
Cheers
Martin

Very Impressive! You could almost scratch build the entire aircraft with only small extra effort.

Gary

Thank you Gary.

The fuselage frame is ready soldered.
Side parts fit well, just are upper and lower cross members not quite running parallel. But I am happy with it.
Now the seat frame is made new. The upper cross member is soldered.

The compass holder is now from wood and prepare the canvas (old linen) for the partition.

I have also recently further.
The cockpit is mounted and simultaneously made the first framing wire.
The fabric back wall is fixed with a thread.
Also the tank is in it, I hope he is not attached too far forward.
Cheers
Martin

Fantastic work Martin. I can't wait to see the final result.

Like a lot of people I have this kit in my stash, even bought the Copper State PE guns and cockpit details for it. Your build has inspired me to get started on it.

Thank you very much for compliment.
But it better you buy a Roden Dr, This kit is more correct.
Cheers
Martin

The fabric is completely attached, as well as the control cable for elevator, - rudder and MG operation.
The compass is still work in progress.

Martin

The belts build from old linen and painted with CDL.
