Nice! And using a metal spar for the wings is definitely recommended! On mine, I built it basically oofb and used the plastic parts that can break easily! And all the turnbuckles work is amazing! Congratulations on a brilliant model!
Cheers

Thank you Marco! That was a challenging project 5 years ago! Soldering the components made it very robust. It can also be seen on the Eduard page of that kit😉
