Whoa, that looks awesome, Frank!  This is one airframe I'm in no rush to tackle.
There are only two states to be in:  Queensland and blotto.

I can hardly keep up with your lightspeed modeling Frank. The engine and the prop look great and your soldering work on the booms is second to none!


The license fee is a beer, should we ever meet in person, for example at an exhibition. 8)


I may take you up on that. It is still a couple of months away, but if all goes well, I'll be at the Euro Scale Modelling on 26 November in Houten in the Netherlands. I was there a couple of years ago and had a great day. There will be dealers, modeling clubs, show tables, SIGs and private sales.

It would be nice to meet you in person Frank! And of course any other member of this forum who may attend  :D

Thank you Alexis and Willem!

I hope that the booms in your bigger scale are more rigid!

Thank you Willem, I spend a lot of time on this bird!

Willem, you don't need to wait till November!
The coming weekend, 26./27. of March I'm very close to the NL border in Lingen on the Euro Model Expo with most of my models! And I checked, this is a bit more then an hour from your home!
I was never there because it is for me more then 700km one way, but I decided I have to be there.
See here for details: https://euromodelexpo.jimdo.com/
It is probably the largest exhibition in Germany. I would be really happy to see you!

Only some days left, but may be you have time.

Cheers,
Frank

I recently received a copy of the Weekend Edition kit (you know who you are - thank you again!) and I'm not taking notes. Exquisite work, Prze!

What a fabulous micro-detailing again Frank!

I zoomed out on the picture to the actual size of the Euro cent... Unbelievable!

Very nice detail work, as usual, Frank.  The plumbing looks good in there.

Thank you all for such nice comments!

I'm not taking notes.
You don't need to because a bookmark on the build report is enough, or sounds it to complicated?

That's why a Cent is a good reference ;)

The problem is often to know what to create. Once you find good references you will also find a way to create the details.

Cheers,
Frank

As always Frank I am lost for words when I comment on your builds. These are difficult enough to scratch in 1/32 scale....in 1/48th I simply could not do it! Hat off to you for doing so!

Stephen.
