First steps - fuselage. It's simple cardboard box

Quote from Peter P.

Is this the one with the letters "kennscht mi no?" on the upper wing?I

"Kennscht mi noch" on the middle wing
It is that one.

As You can see, i've decided to enhance the control stick and cockpit edge.

On the cockpit edge I've used insulator from the electric wire. Maybe it's a little too thick, but I can't find the right one...

Thank You, Nasymon!

The lower wings are added:

Now its too late, but with middle wings I'll show You my "trick"-how to prevent wings tips from going down...

Middle wing:

As You can see, I've put the bamboo stick ( used usually for shashlik's )next to original girder of the wing.

And I"ve did it with each one wing in this model.

Bamboo stick is very resistant and light, so I think it is suitable for that task.

BTW:

Happy Easter!

I'm glad You enjoy my work

My favourite : planes in 1:33 and 1:50 and vechicles 1:25.

Round shape of cowling... Man can do it!

Thanks.

Wings are ready:

Thank You!

But absolutely great is that one:

http://www.papermodels.pl/index.php?topic=5261.0

Yes.

Wheels made from parts of original paper cut-out.

Completely hand-made

Repeatedly grinded and painted- in the beginning with nitrocellulose varnish, and then with black,matt paint ( Model Master).

Ardous hand work

Quote from J.R.

Have a nice weekend!

Thank You! Have a nice weekend too !

Tomorrow I'm going to met my friends-modellers from Lodz,Poland - personally We met together in Lodz on the second Saturday each month from many years

Lodzka Sjesta Modelarska - that how we calls our meetings

And the engine case glued together:

The cardboard strips of "round" fragment of case were smooth pressed on the rubber before glueing. Then painted together with nitrocellulose varnish.

Thank You, Friends for Yours good words.
Next steps:

The engine - in the cardboard tehere is a very simple,but also primitive version. I'd like to "enrich" it. So I've made the "fuel pipes" ( I cand find the right word... ).
I've made only 4 of them...
Why? Because of my mistake - I've made completely cowling BEFORE positioning inside the ready engine...And because of that the engine is not moveable as it should...I've must cut-out the tips of 3-4 cyllinders to put the engine inside...
Sorry...

And the forgotten view from below:

Now I must make strings and paint model with matt colourless paint.
Then it will be gallery

Thank You, Friends!
It was the honour for me to do it!

Thanks again.

Quote from King Learjet

quick and very well built model!

Quick built... well... I've started my work on september 2011. Because of heavy problems and nervous period in my work place- hospital in Poland-I was not sure to finish model...

So I have to wait to the moment,when I was sure, that model will be finished...

Well built - well ; I do my best .

About 20 years of experience...

Model finished...
