Fabulous! Great job on a very interesting subject. Excellent presentation as well. Is the pilot having a pre-flight coffee or a post-flight cup of gin thinking how lucky he is to be back on the ground....?

Great to see this weird model completed. I suppose you are the first one. Great build, as usual.

Hi Przemol,
I've seen this built on YouTube by 'Flying Circus Models'.

There are others around the web, but in other scales or scratch built,

As always you turn out first class models and make it look so easy. The pilot figure really gives this model a realistic atmosphere: super model of an unusual type.

That's an odd-looking bird?!?  But nice piece of modeling.
