Well folks, I now have the top wing assembly and the floats onto the model and rigging is complete - By slightly adjusting the order of attachment of struts onto the top wing (cabanes first, working one cabane attachment hole at a time, followed by interplane struts), I ended up with some very clean joins and nice alignment... oh, and no snapped struts

Nothing major I know, but for me I am happy that I am winning the battle and it is a sign that I am on the home stretch with this one!!

Yay!

Fingers crossed, no more disasters...

Brad your work is simply beautiful, and inspiring. I love the wood finishing you've done. It almost makes me want to use oils myself. Almost...

I must say that I rather like the lines of the W4. The Eduard kit is a great one, and I recommend it to anyone. I am just glad that I didn't let this kit beat me!

All feedback welcome as always.

I too love the lines of the W4 Brad.

Once again, you have raised tha bar for us mere mortals... A sensational finish as always... Attention to detail that I can only hope to ever match!

Cheers,

The nicest from the Albatros family. And so excellent build. I am very glad you did not give up! The final result recompensates all odds, I suppose?
