Brad,

Fantastic workmanship!

I've built this myself in the recent past (not to your standard though) so know what you mean about getting the wing struts to line up correctly.

Regards

Hi Brad.

What a huge revell tin!

No one would tell that we're seing a 1/72 model. Awesome work and overall look. It's a master piece! ;D

Cheers

I am truly staggered at the amount of detail that you have managed to get in to this tiny model. Like the others if you had said that this was 1/32 scale I would have beleived it: that it is God's Own Scale is simply awesome. Very, very many congratulations.

Thanks for the really kind comments folks, very much appreciated!  ;D  The more I build 1/72 the more I like this scale. That said, I am not sure my eyes will keep liking me if I keep sticking to the small stuff...!

Cheers,

Your eyes will not mind it. There is still a possibility to use a magnifying glass or other optical equipment! Do stick to this small scale - it pays back every effort one puts in the models. And you are the master in this category, Brad!

Very nice indeed Brad

Love the colour scheme, my 1/3 scale versionwill be Blymp too.  Still can't work out whether to do the early scheme or the later one although like you, I'm tending towards the early one with the painted cowl.

Anyway, very nice work!

I just finished drooling over this at HS.  Holy Cow, Man! 

All those comments about it being WNW are wrong.  It's got to be a 1/8th flying model.  ;D

Fantabulous... ;)

Hi Brad:

Hard to believe it is 1/72nd.  You certainly packed a lot of detail into that cockpit.  Very clean and nice, truly outstanding workmanship through out.

Best

Brad,

I somehow missed this.. (I tend to overlook 1/72.. ::))

But, really, when I saw the photo - I honestly thought it was 1/32! And was impressed with the finish.. Then I saw it was 1/72...  :o

Just incredible.. You must have bionic eyes..

Mate oh mate I don`t beleive it`s 1/72nd! You simply have an extremely big tin of Revell`s paint and WNW Tripe here  :o
I`m trully speechless my friend. I`m in deep admiration of your skills and precision.
This is one of the best models I have seen lately!
