Well, after four days of cutting, sanding, scraping and gluing I finally have one set of wings done. ONE! A part of the slowness involves my ongoing fight with an ear infection, which leaves me more interested in sleeping than working, and a part of it is that it's very tedious work. I could save a lot of time by only doing the top half of each wing, like in a regular vac kit, but when done properly these actually look very good. So I'm taking my time and trying to do it right.

Anyway, the lower wings are mounted to the fuselage and the whole thing has a primer coat finally, so setting aside the other one for the time being this one at least is ready to be assembled. I've decided to do one of the early German Hansa-built models, so it won't have the forward-firing gun and part of the tail is cut away because early on they didn't have balanced rudders.
