Double rigging... in 1/144 scale...      (slowly picks jaw up off the floor, rubs the bruise from where it hit hard)

Wonderful work, thank you for treating us to this!

An incredible build in an extremely small scale, very well done Ondra, the end result is spectacular.

Such damn small scale - and your scratched mini SE.5a looks really like a SE.5a! :o
And because I'm build a SE.5a in 1/48 scale at the moment, I know some details - and I found all of them on your model. Simply unbelievable!

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you very much for your kind words, Lance!

Last weekend I joined a scale model show in Brno (the second largest modelling event in Czechia). There was a party in the evening and by the time of the dusk I spotted that the S.E. standing on the table was flooded in the evening sunlight. I really like this photo so I could not resist from sharing it. ;)
