Wow, I did not expect you to actually follow my advice!!!!😁 Looking good. Malc.

Great update! What I like about following your build is thinking, 'yes, thats exactly what I would have done'! Armchair satisfaction......! One tip I would like to pass on - I always find that when simulating ribs/rib tapes with streched sprue, at the sanding stage a few always come loose at the ends and dissapear. Masking the wing (minus the rib tapes) then applying a couple of layers of heavy primer results in much better representation of the tapes - after a bit of gentle sanding to round off the edges of the primer following removal of the masking tape. @tomprobert is using this method on his remarkable vacform Short Stirling build. Looking forward to how you do the red lines! Perhaps use one of these and make a template guide to follow? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226267015086?_ul=GB&rb_itemId=226267015086&rb_pgeo=GB&ff=11&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5339059258&toolid=10044&customid=EAIaIQobChMIw5-3lJzLjAMVhotQBh3nRgAfEAQYASABEgLfa_D_BwE&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw5-3lJzLjAMVhotQBh3nRgAfEAQYASABEgLfa_D_BwE Malc.

Nice! Thanks to your mention of the Eicher-Kimball rep, I found the video of the first flight which was interesting to see. Malc

Blimmin marvelous, I like your sketches of the parts you want to make. Not normally a fan of scale deviations, but the art deco instrument panel is great! Malc.

Fantastic! M.

That there interior is looking really impressive. M.

The plane is great and the figures are wonderful! (Hope to see your Z completed soon!😉) M.

Nice! Thats a great original picture I have never seen before. I recently read that Ernst Udet test flew the Z with a view to placing an order for several. Malc.

Nice! Certainly will be following this. The Armoury engine looks great. M.

Looks good. Did you use an etch primer? Malc.

@LSP_Kevin - Thanks! Lets try the other one as you have done:- Yes! Malc.

https://ibb.co/3cBwF7g Best I can do, you have to click on the link......... M.

One of the best things I saw at the show! Have to say it looks even better up close. I think you were otherwise engaged, or I would have had a chat! Oh - I was trying to post the pics I took but cant seem to embed the link from imgbb? Malc.

I will be at the show, so will be sure to stop and give it a couple of coats of looking at! I would be interested in a partial kit of the bits that would be hard to make, I.E. engine/wheels/prop/decals. Malc.

Nice! The paint finish is particularly crisp with just the right amount of gloss. M.
