Do you know a way to attach the places I have highlighted?View attachment 800840

These were hinges with a kind of clamps/buckles attached to the inner rings going around the engine. These clamps could be dismounted to remove the cowling panels fully or after removing the hinge axis one of the sections only. A quite similar system to these used for the Fw 190 and La-5/La-7, IMHO.

Was the part I circled removable?

Look's like one guy builds it by himself.

What were the fairings attached to:
Engine-Wing
Wing-fuselage?
With rivets or screws?

 

[Wurger]

The parts behind the engines were made of the four stringers and pressed bulkeads. The front bulkhead was of the full type while the inner ones were bottom opened because there was the recrating main landing gear housed. The bottom part was closed by the wheel bay doors. The side and top covering of the section was rivetted.

OK. I have thought you meant that. Unfortunately I didn't see a pic showing the part with the angle you wanted. But If you have a look at the enlarged ones you should get the idea on how the fairing looked like. Actually the fairing both for the inner and the outer engine nacelles, was a part of the central wing leading edge. However these were of a slightly different size due to the wing dimensions at the areas. But always were covering the gap between the front round engine nacelle section and the wing leading edge. The parts crossfaded into the nacelle side at the bottom and the top rear fairing on the wing tops giving the smooth transition.

What were the fairings attached to? Bolts or rivets?

 

[Wurger]

With bolts.

 

[Stas1234]

With bolts.

Here on the condor there are two rows of rivets. One is vertical and the other is horizontal. The vertical one is attached to the frame, this is understandable, but what about the vertical one?

 

[Wurger]

In the pic you may notice that the rivets aren't visible. These bolts can be found ... and these can't be the rivets because how the gondola section would be accessed in order to dismount.

 

[Stas1234]

На фотографии вы можете заметить, что заклепки не видны. Эти болты можно найти... и это не могут быть заклепки, потому что как получить доступ к секции гондолы, чтобы демонтировать ее?

I'm not talking about that anymore -_- Throughout the fuselage of the plane there is a vertical row of rivets and a horizontal one. What is the horizontal row attached to?

[Wurger]

Oh OK .... the horizontal rivet lines are because the metal plates of the coveing are rivetted to the stringers.

Was this type of body used on all types of condor?

Yes it was.

A picture from Hawker's Brooklands factory in WWII. This shows the cloth being draped over the rear fuselage of the closest Hurricane and the beginning of the attachment process. The other Hurricane has the cloth stretched and secured to the fuselage formers and stringers and is in the middle(?) of the prep for the doping process. The rudder and horizontal fins of the near Hurricane have already had the cloth applied, doped, and (I think) painted with a base coat.

View attachment 796787

That almost looks like a twinned Hurricane in construction.

 

[Stas1234]

Yes it was.

Was the enamel fabric attached with rivets to the frame of the plane?

 

[Stas1234]

Yes it was.

How many ribs did the plane's fuselage have?

You already have posted the diagram with the number of the bulkheads in your post #17. Just count.

Do you have a photo of the vertical stabilizer with clearly visible rivets?
They somehow secured the sheets of metal to the frame.
