Glad to hear that you're satisfied. Like I said, I'm just a wee bit obsessive about this kind of thing, owing to a career that goes back to old school mechanical drawings being done by hand, (no computers back then).

I know what you mean, also when I started in a drawing office, computers were unheard of.

As you can well imagine, proper oblique projections to establish true length in 1:72 scale probably are not going to net any substantial differences that Joe average would ever have noticed anyway, so I probably should have remained quiet, but my obsessions sometimes get the better of me.

She's a great looking Albie! How you fellows manage to accomplish this degree of craftsmanship in such a small scale never ceases to amaze me. Well done.

Cheers,

Chris

She turned out beautifully, Antonio.  She's absolutely gorgeous.

I am working to reproduce this scene (though I don't have the figure)


Any idea about where the black pennants were fixed to the lower wing?

Superb build Antonio, on such a small scale as well.
