Gorgeous work as always Des. Whoever came up with the nickname "Stringbag" for the Fairey Swordfish obviously never saw one of these!

You're making great strides with this build Des. The rigging is amazing!

Cheers,

Words fail me Des. Every time I think you have achieved a world class finish, you go further with the detail and quality of your workmanship with your next build to produce something that is better than unique !

In terms of visual complexity and the fidelity of detail, I believe your Spinne is the best scratchbuilt so far from the Des Delatorre Aircraft Factory. I'm still calling the actual aircraft an ugly design  :) but you have captured it so faithfully in miniature, I truly believe this model deserves to be displayed in a high end aviation museum.

Simply breathtaking, magnificent work!

Bravo!

Dear Des,

You must have cats eyes and subtile fingers and a great notion of all kinds of material. It makes me feel so humble to see what ever so nice builds you made. Let's dream on! Many many congratulations!

Hello Des ! Only just caught up on this build - can only echo what many others more erudite than I are saying - in a word - wow!!
When I look at my meagre output against your masterpieces I do think you have been given special powers!! Kind regards - Andrew

Thanks very much for all the very kind comments, they are all greatly appreciated.

I have completed all the tail rigging so now it is on to the wings, I need to do a bit of head scratching to work out the wing arrangement and to figure out how to fasten it to the airframe.

Des.
