Thanks for your comments. Time just does march on, Maarten. The wings have been criticized in the past, but for the record, they have the same scale span, sweep and chord as the Matchbox 1:32 scale kit, which I'm using for comparison. The dihedral of the lower wing should be 9 degrees. This should be checked. The upper wing has 4.5 degrees dihedral. The nose is a bit short, and the cowling is short. The width of most of the fuselage should be about 1mm greater. The kit's interplane struts are the right length. That's as far as I've gotten with checking the parts to date. The empennage shapes are a bit off.
