I can't add any more to what's been said already, but I can echo it...gorgeous work as usual Des - if this is what you can do with one eye I'm on tenterhooks to see what's possible with both!

I have spent about 24 hours trying to think of a way to praise your build. In the end I decided it is so far beyond my level of incompetence that I don't really deserve a remark  ??? SO very well done....

  Des,
What more can I add to the praise of this latest opus,other than absolutely awesome my old friend. Funny thing with each finished Masterpiece I wonder how you'll ever do one better. But you always do one better.
Highest Regards,

Congratulations on this masterpiece - especially with the knowledge back in my mind that you had problems with your eyes during the build.

 :o its just stunning, congratulations for building such a beaty to such high standarts! My English fails me when trying to give superlatives for the build. I followed it with great interest and the end result is just... WOW!
Best regards,

Des,

This is your best scratch built model so far - brilliant work.  You must possess the patience of a saint to have undertaken all that rigging ........................!

Thank you all very much for the wonderful comments, every word is much appreciated.

Dave, the rigging of these old aeroplane models is the most favorite part of the build for me, I absolutely love the challenge of fitting all the rigging and turnbuckles and I get a great sense of satisfaction once the job has been completed.

Just stunning Des!

I've said it before but this museum standard model would make a great logo for the site because it would classify as an early war aircraft.

Best wishes
Nigel
