Thx Robert! The weather forecast was rain, but before we had a little bit of sun. So I had a chance to try some outdoor pics again.
It's a pity that a terminal came loose on the journey. I only noticed it when I got home and looked at the photos.

WOW! Those look like photos of the full sized aircraft! Not only an exceptional modeller, you're pretty good with a camera as well Frank.
I hope the problem with your fingers sorts itself out soon.

Björn Svedberg

Wow mates, what a great feedback! Thank you very much! If anyone would like to copy it - Eduard has a Profipack with Hispano Suiza on offer at the moment.
Regarding the photos: the effort to build this setup pays really back. Here I showed it using two tripods: My favorite tools | Album by bughunter
@gorby Thx, it is getting better. I still feel pain, but not so much that it hinders me.
@Richie, are you sure with only one flying? May be original. I have used a set of reference pictures of a new one built by Vintage Aviator. They have built 4, 3 of them are flying in New Zealand.
@Christoph thx for your continued support! You were the first to want to see this aircraft.

David Taylor
Another stunning build,hope your work digits get better.
