Looks good so far! How is the fit?

Elias Korompilis
This is a short run kit Frank, fit is as good as is your planning, checking and parts preparation 😉

Thanks and one remark:
I know, the manual call wood for it, but if I look at an existing picture of the engine area the firewall between engine and cockpit looks like metal. Technically it would make sense and was also implemented on other types at this time. As the outer panels are also metal the would be able to build it that way.

Ethan Flory
Looking forward to this one!

@bughunter: You are right, there is a photo (p.13 windsock datafile special) which clearly shows the sheet metal firewall. And a firewall cannot be made from wood! I don't know why they suggest wood color in the instructions maybe evidence exists for a wooden bulkhead aft of the firewall? Any way, too late for me now, fortunately it is not visible in the finished model 🙂

Oh, if Elias is showing stuff here, only something good can come out of it. I grab a seat.

David R. Meizoso
Count me in, it's looking great already.

Πολύ ωραία δουλειά Ηλία, όπως πάντα.
Δύο ερωτήσεις:
-Θα φτιάξεις το ΣΟ 18 ? Γιατί είχες αμφιβολία για τον κινητήρα.
- Πως θα κάνεις το rigging?
Με έτοιμα turnbuckles?Βλέπω δεν έχεις ανοίξει τρύπες στα φτερά.

Elias Korompilis
-Δεν έχω αποφασίσει ακόμη ποιο θα φτιάξω. Δουλεύω 9 προφίλ, μάλλον όμως καταλήγω στο "Πελοπόννησος" (6442).
-Για το rigging θα ανοιξω τρυπες (η επάνω πτερυγα δεν είναι ακόμη κολλημένη στην άτρακτο) και θα δοκιμάσω ένα καινούργιο υλικό για τα συρματόσχοινα, δεν θα χρησιμοποιήσω ετοιμα turnbucles. Ακομα δεν ξέρω πως ακριβώς θα το χειριστώ.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Elias Korompilis
Completed! 😉

Guy Rump

👌👌👌

Another very special and beautiful build. The only issue I have is the exhaust stack. This looks too uniform in my opinion. Maybe just a dark wash will break that appearance.

Alex K
Iconic... Respects! 👍 👍
