Many thanks gentlemen for your very kind words, I really appreciate all the comments. Of the three scratch builds I have done so far I like this one the best, in my eyes it is a "cute" aeroplane.

Hi Des,

That is an absolutely outstanding model!  I know that everyone else has said it but what an absolutely magnificent effort!  8)

I was just looking at the scratch - or more correctly partly scratch built FE2 and wondering how people create such realistic parts, or in your case whole models from scratch.  The ingenuity demonstrated by some model builders, especially those who have become members here on this magnificent site you have created is absolutely astounding!

We would all be very impressed if you had built a slab sided Fokker triplane, or something relatively easy.  If you had it would have been an outstanding achievement but you have created an absolute masterpiece, a very realistic representation of a very highly technical subject.

Regards,

David.
