Finally for today, lower wings were joined with the fuselage. Tomorrow I'm will have a something tricky: four Mercedes engines and two complete nacelles.

It sure looks to be a great big bird! Very nice indeed.

I think many who build this Giant will find the assembly sequence photos very valuable.

I need a new dining room table. Seriously, looks like a great kit but I would never have room a 2 bedroom unit with the family and the Zep.

Good to see you back Alex.

Impressive!
Alex:

I am really enjoying the progress of your build. This looks like a super kit. I haven't bought a 1/72 kit in a very long time — but this one is REALLY tempting.

Most impressive. Kudos to Roden as well for the courage and foresight to bring this to the market place. I think it will sell very well.

I look forward to the next installment...

Cheers!

Tom

Hello! I'm just finished nacelles, spent around 5 hours for two sets!
Firstly, I'm made pods.

Each Mercedes D.IV contain no less than 20 parts. Obviously, 4 engine need for this "little bird"...
