Andonio,
   I enjoyed following you along on this slightly insane but very neat little project. What an interesting diversion and great little conversation piece. Congratulations on something "completely different"!
Cheers,
Lance

You were a very brave man attacking this miniscule scale Andonio, and the result of you work is excellent, well done on building what most people would call an impossible task.

Phenomenal work, Antonio!  You've given me a great idea for ear rings for my wife.

Thanks everybody !

Of course seeing the close up pictures we can spot (as usual in my works) a lot of things that could be better, but seeing it in my display case it looks really nice!

OK Now I'm already studying for my next project: Academy Nieuport 17, my first 1/32 ever!

ciao

Good grief, Antonio, it's got rigging as well, when the whole thing aircraft can only be the size of a thumb. Talent like this should be against the law!

Best wishes

That is, without a doubt, the smallest scale model WWI aircraft I've ever seen. In fact, any aircraft. Or model.

How long did it take you? What's the rigging made of - hair?

Really interesting.
