I cannot add anything new to what has been written already - only that I am in total agreement with everybody +10.
The aircraft really does look as though it was from an earlier age - quite amazing to think that it could and did fly.

An absolute beauty Des, yet again.

You keep raising the bar, truly astounding levels of skill and dedication, especially so since it's entirely scratchbuilt!

Inspiring stuff indeed. You really should consider publishing some of your build logs.

I can't add anything new to what's already been said. Even those of us whose native tongue is English have used up all our superlatives!

Very many congratulations!

Des I guess there are no words in the English vocabulary that can truly describe my admiration of your work. The topic you have chosen this time is unique. Your interpretation of the subject is absolutely magnificent! I can`t stop watching pics you`ve kindly provided us with. One can only turn green with envy of your talent. It is really a privilege to be able to present my models somewhere near your works...
I can`t wait till your next build!!!
Best regards
Filip

Des,

It's a very peculiar plane, but a fabulous model. It was a joy to follow your updates and see the model growing and becoming a superb reproduction. Hopefully there are more models to follow this one.

regards,
Ivo

Amazing model. Not only a rather weird machine I had never heard of, but a great build. Parts are perfectly clean for a scratch build, and the rigging is really impressive.
