Frank,

I have missed tuning in to the site for a couple of days and you have half built another masterpiece, complete with complex original parts! I just do not know how you can do it so quickly.

Absolutely fantastic modelling as always.

The cowling and struts are pieces of art, Frank, bravo!

That is Fine Modeling by Any standards!  Your ability to make Miniature replicas of complicated aircraft parts continue to amaze Me Frank!!

Marvellous stuff Frank. I love your metalwork - the finely turned cowling and all the brass soldering. Lovely.
Vive les Nieuports!

Once again I am speechless at the skill you show in making such tiny realistic parts like the tail skid and undercarriage fairings.

I can only say I concur!  You must have some serious Microscopy at your disposal to be able to work so finely!

The tail skid is wonderful!  I despaired of every getting anything to work for it in 1/72nd. Beautiful work so far sir.

Thank you Stephen, Hugh and WD!

The key is not to handle small parts but use big parts as long as possible!
Example from above: I let the wires very long, so even the small plates with the two holes added already. Cut later on the complete skid. So the handling is much easier
