Raymond - my artist "Artama" is originally a ship builder, 1:700 scale. 1:72 parts are about 10 times bigger than 1:700 ones, so no sweat. No part is too tiny, no detail too small for him. You're welcome and thanks for your kind compliments.
mississippivol - I've read that they were hard to fly because of so small wings, and some were widow makers. Is that right?
