Like ?  There's no like, I LOVE  this little plane and the job you've done on it !

How do you get the top wing aligned so perfectly ?  I have temporarily shelved a double winger I am working on because of this reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

I just don't understand how you 1/72 builders can make these little kits look so much larger than they are. Simply fabulous work there. Very cool.

You did good on that ancient kit, much better than I ever did.  How did you paint the prop?

Hello!

At first I didn't like how the green on the wing looks uneven, but then, seeing the next photos I have to say the model looks really good and consistent. Congratulations! Good luck with your next builds and have a nice day

Welcome, Ronald!

Very nice work on a challenging old kit. As Pawel said, you did a great job of making your finish consistent overall (which is often harder than it looks).

Please show us more of your work when you get the chance.

That is absolutely beautiful, you took a small scale and blew it up proportionally with skills.

Hola Ronald!

Mi Español no es muy bien, tambien una pregunte en Ingles:

How much time did the superglue take to set completely? Did you have much sanding afterwards?

Que tengas un buen día

Its easy, we put a magnifier on our camera's. Wink

 

Nice work on this. I know rigging a 72nd bi plane is not easy. That's a good job there.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Wow! Very well done! I can't imagine building something so small in 1/72 and having it look anywhere near as good.
