Everyone's said it all, Frank - she's achingly beautiful. I want to prime the cylinders and get her started for a dawn (or dusk!) patrol. What a beauty. I think my own Weekend Edition kit will jump the queue - this has been such a fascinating and inspirational build.

Magnificent!

Now I am curious how you like the model!

It is magnificent!  I have never seen anything quite like it.  How you can manage to create something so beautiful in just 2 months is a mystery to me.

Thank you very much to each and every one of you! Your wonderful comments are highly appreciated!


In the outdoor pics she looks like she's ready to fly away at any moment.
:o Hopefully not! I put it into my glass cabinet to be sure.

Superb, you always delight us with scaled real planes.
Giuseppe, I try to reached my signature, but this is not always successful. This time I seems to had luck.

a pity you do not work on the 1/32 scale.
That would mean I would miss those wonderful Eduard models, and the 1/32 needs to much space.

I especially like the outdoor shots.
This time it was not easy. I used the evening light, but as we have nearly summer the sun produced very hard shadows and high contrasts. The parts in the shadow are nearly invisible. The light tent works better in this regard.

How you can manage to create something so beautiful in just 2 months is a mystery to me.
I have to admit that I spend a lot of time on model making!

Thanks again,
Frank

Late to the party Frank, but a real aeroplane produced by your hands is certainly not something to be missed. Another winner in every way to go alongside your equally inspiring strip-down version. Wunderbar!!

Beutiful model, as always. This Eduard kit  is especially "not easy" to build, but,  it seems, for you it  was like a walk in a park. Cheers!!!

Thank you, my friends, for such fabulous feedback!

:D
I think it was worth replacing the struts and tail booms with more robust solutions - that made it a "walk in the park" later on. 8)
