Small steps are steady steps. Well done for a one-eyed modeler. Ask Lyle if you need a second eye for checks. :stirpot:

Looking good, Norman.

It has been some time since the last update. Here are a few current pictures.

I've been standing next to me for a long time and can't find a way into my hobby. Do you know when everything becomes too much for you?

We start with German chaos. Sorry

Dry fit before painting the outside of the cockpit.

Fuselage, tailplane and wing glued together. Not a small plane!

I probably took the pictures with the smartphone in the wrong format. Sorry

That's some solid progress, Norman. Despite the chaos that is. :giggles:
Also great wiring on the engine.

From chaos, order eventually emerges :wink:

Nice progress on this one Norman! :shoutout:
