Mike ;

    I laud your patience here .The result was and is breathtaking .Now see ! P.E. Isn't something to be afraid of , is it ?

    I have friends who don't feel comfortable with P.E. Build " Metal Earth " Kits to get the feel of it .

   I believe it works too !  T.B.

Egads!! I was thinking what a wonderful sculpture - in addition to its being a heck of a beautiful model of an aircraft - and look how small it is compared to the Tamiya paint bottle. I looked at my Tamiya paint bottles on my work table and noticed that I had two sizes - 10 ml. and 23 ml. Yours is the 10 ml. That's an insanely small gem you've created!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

WOW, amazing!!! I don't think I could do that in 1/32nd, in 1/72nd you have some steady hands and good eyes.

That's some intricate PE work in any scale, much less 1/72. And boy howdy is it well done.

Very nice build.  You aren't the only one to "dislike" PE, and your build shows way more patience than I have.

That's an amazing looking build. You powered thru the hate. I dig stuff like that and I will be adding that to my build list.

I always wondered what it looked like naked.  Thanks for the post.  How you worked that rear fuselage is beyond me.

Eduard's 1/72 Fokker Dr.1 'strip-down' kit. Superbly engineered, it's mostly photo-etch with a few styrene parts – cowling, wheels, wing spars etc. I loathe working with photo-etch so this was a challenge. Think I'll stick with regular styrene kits from now on ;)
