Excellent in every aspect, Matz. Congratulations on another gem from your bench! And what about a little Dorand dio?  ;)

Highest regards

Just awesome Mathias, congratulations! It's such a pretty (and neglected) airplane!

Fantastic job Matz,
 I'm not sure I could ever refer to this aircraft as beautiful, but your model is about as close as it could get!

She's absolutely stunning, Matz!  You've done a remarkable job with this kit.  I wish someone made one in 1/48 scale.  I love the look of this plane.
Cheers,
Bud

Well done, a beautiful model! 8)

That is SO COOL, Matz!  Love it.  Delicate but doesn't look like a vac.  Super finish and detailed rigging.

I've never seen one built.  Thanks for sharing...

I agree with the comments about the vacuforms - I would never have believed that this was one. This will be set off extremely well in a duo - can't wait to see what little masterpiece this will evolve into.
