The frame has developed a slight twist. ;) Too late now. I'm going with the theory that's why she's in the shop now.

Absolutely brilliant work, and being 1:72 scale makes it even more remarkable, well done.

As one who also works in God's Own Scale I have only one comment to make. WOW!!!!!

I am extremely impressed, the more so as this is almost completely scratch built. This is going to be a truly impressive model when it is finished - and I look forward to seeing it completed.

Super work Stan. What you have achieved so far is remarkable. There should be a law against this sort of thing in 1/72scale!

Best wishes

She just keeps getting better and better, Stan!  I don't see any twist, by the way.  Maybe that's why I don't build 1/72 scale. :-[

Very well done Stan, the bare bones Eindecker looks very comfortable sitting on blocks in the workshop, congratulations on completing a wonderful scene.
