Des,
    Just an absolutely spectacular model, if it were any better there would be three of them!! A pleasure to follow start to finish, and an outstanding testament to your modelling talents. Your work is indeed an inspiration.
    ........and now back to "Modelling 101" for this follower ::)
Well done again Sir!
Cheers,
Lance

Des,

Ever since I came across this forum, I was amazed at what you and so many others have done and shared.  Thank you for for encouraging us to enter into your world and being such an inspirational teacher.  Your friendship is a valued treasure!  An absolutely beautiful build.

Where do you find the plans for these aircraft?  How do you go about taking a plan and scaling it to 1/32?  I've seen others modify kits by supplementing from scale plans and would be interested in this aspect of modeling. 

Again, thanks!

Hi Rick,  I have sent you an email explaining how I went about starting this build, hope it helps.

Thank you to everyone for all your wonderful comments, it makes the build very worthwhile to receive so much praise from the members, I appreciate every word that has been said.

If it was built from a kit I’d be full of admiration for the stunning model (and the modellers skill), but the degree of difficulty doing a scratch built model is very much greater – so is it’s impressiveness.
