Can I not finish a kit...of course it will meet expectations! :)   (that was modification to the "does a bear shat in the woods?" joke)

Wow Frank, what a great start. I've spent 3 days trying to make 1/32 details and failed miserably so far. This thread shows what can be done beautifully in 1/48 so I'll use it as inspiration. This is going to be epic!

Amazing detail work as always Frank! The Machine gun jackets and barrels look awesome!

As always Frank your modelling is of a standard which I can only dream about. I have to keep reminding myself that you are working in that very odd in-between scale and not the gargantuan one we normally see here (and which I too am working at the moment - but please do not remind the others!). The barrels of the gins and the propellor are just excellent and i really like that control stick.

Hi Frank! Fantastic work, as always!
Over in my Pup-thread you wrote that the larger WnW-models show details you could only dream about. That's probably true, but you're extremely good at making those dreams reality. Looking forward to more updates.

Take care!

Fredrik is right about making dreams come true - you do it all the time in that strange in-between scale! Super IP na d the milling of the wood is another step which I for one can only (still) dream about.

Thank you Rick, Fredrik, Richie, Terri and Stephen! I'm glad that you like my work!

Over in my Pup-thread you wrote that the larger WnW-models show details you could only dream about. That's probably true, but you're extremely good at making those dreams reality.
Fredrik, I mean those small inconspicuous details like the great rib tapes on your Pup. In that quality it is hard to replicate by myself.


Super IP na d the milling of the wood is another step which I for one can only (still) dream about.
That was done with the super small milling machine Proxxon MF70. May be a wish for next X-mas? 8)

Next update soon,
Frank
