Truly great! And a miracle too: How did you get it flying?

Looks great. Just for the record - is it Roden or WNW?

Thanks Richard and Przemol! It's the Roden kit ,oob with some Part PE and hand brushed personal markings.It does not fly I just dropped it and took the photo at the right moment...noo just joking,it's suspended by steel wire bits(Fender G-string).
The props are driven by a fan.

That is an amazing piece of work. even more so that it is the 1/72nd Roden kit. Outstanding idea and execution!

Extremely well done Matz, the model is excellent and your idea of it taking off is brilliant, very clever indeed.

I love seeing what you're going to come up with next. You have a unique take on everything, Matz! Your Gotha actually appears to be taking off. I can't really see where the wires are that are holding it up. Well done!

Thanks to you all,much appreciated!George,I must confess I cheated a bit ...the wires are slid into brass tubes I glued into the bottom of each nacelle and the tailplane,if you look closely you will notice my crude attempt of erasing them with the help of Picasa...I just couldn't resist!

I love this, truly spectacular! Sure is nice to see another Roden Gotha being built.

What can I add? This is modelling at its very best. I could only dream of doing something like this - original and perfectly executed. Vry many congratulations.

Great work and the way you've presented in takeoff mode is outstanding. I don't think I've ever seen it done that well before
