That would be nice! May be as reference gallery? Yes, I should finish the Pup soon, but at the moment the Pfalz D.IIIa is growing up.

Yep, I will upload the next series soon. Some weathering is missing too and the final pictures in light tent are not yet done.

Can somebody help me? I'm searching for my jaw, it just dropped to the floor.
This is incredible

Thanks for your honeyed words. The "normal" turnbuckle are Gaspatch. The flat "RAF-wire" don't have really turnbuckles, at the end there are terminals for mounting, see here a picture of a real one (picture found on largescaleplanes.com): [img1]
So I made those terminals from scratch using brass micro tubes of different diameters and this flat EZ-line for the "wires". The bigger terminals are 0,5 outer diameter, a slit with finest saw and flattened on one side, then a hole for a 0,2mm nickel silver "bolt". A small ring cutted from 0,7mm brass simulates a nut on the other side. After preparing the parts they are tin-plated.
Such things would be much easier in 1/32 scale!

Thx for your words and bring this model to the front page again. I still love it and think, that it is one of my best models, beside the D.H.2 stripdown.
