Astonishing work, Ondra!  All that tiny detail!  I would go blind.
Cheers,

Many thanks for looking in and leaving such a nice comment, Bud!

Not much work done in between, the tropical weather hier in Czechia is a real killer of modelling enthusiasm.

Nevertheless, I made some parts for the interior, there will only be very basic details as little will remain visible once the fuselage is closed.

I added a toothpick to create the scale effect. :D







One learning is that I have to invent a better method for making gauges, they are darn tiny and do not look really convincing.

I hope not to regret that I have not added more detail, most probably I will think it over once again.

Cheers

I saw the new Marvel movie Ant-Man a couple of weeks ago - the lead character had a device to communicate with/"command" ants to do his bidding...surely Ondra has one of these too?!

Stunning work, what a beautiful little model!
