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

I enjoyed your build log and must say the results on this one are fantastic! Beautifully painted and detailed. Lovely work on an unusual subject.

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.
