Absolutely stunning, Hristo!  As with all of your other brilliant models, this looks like a 1/32 scale model.  It seems impossible (for me, anyway) that something so detailed and perfect could be created in such a small scale.  Bravo!
Cheers,
Bud

Hristo is too shy to say that the model won 1st place for 1/72 propeller aircraft and a special medal from an Italian modeling club (I forgot the nàme) at the recent Scale Modelling Exhibition in Sofia....and teh gold at the dioramas also...

Congratulations on the awards for this model, you deserves them all. You have done a superb job with this model, the overall finish is superb and the rigging is excellent, the dio scene has been very well executed, it is a real credit to you and to do all this in 1:72 scale is unbelievable, this is modeling at its best.

Des has said it - modelling at its very best - and in the right scale too!! Many well deserved congratulations on your medal success - I just wish that I could finish my models to this standard.

High level modeling, I am not surprised about the medal it won.
The pictures show such an high level of perfection in the details that makes it hard to believe it's a 72nd scale model!

Hats off!

This is really impressive modelling, especially the engine -

until I read the title again I thought this a large scale model - not 1/72 - wow!

Amazing build!
