This is how I feel when I view your work, Torben. I was thinking t’other day about your jet liner and what you did to seal the windows, letting form triumph over the kit itself, a brilliant (if I understood correctly) variation on the typical “follow the rules to get this done” style of building which simply does not exist here at SPAM. Bravo.

Nothing lies beyond you, Mark. You are in the vanguard. Your scale experience is master class level. Believe me, some enterprising modeler out there will create a “Master Class” series quite soon. Never forget how much you inspire others to try to maximize 1/72.

You are another Master Builder, Joe. From following your work it is possible to learn what it is like to build an accurate prototype. I did see on a WWI Forum a fella use EZ line to create a scale 1/32 wiring harness and thought of your work with engines; certainly one of your greatest strengths is an eyeful of colorful cable candy.

Thank you Bruce. Your words honor me more than I deserve. I'm just a small OOB fish in a large lake of master scratchbuilders and kitbashers in 1/72 scale, as seen on Missing Lynx. Still I do fully enjoy building my small stuff.

Thanks for waiting Bruce! I am back from Italy and now let's see when to restart.

Welcome back, Marius! Just say when!

Okay. After a month off for various reasons, I believe we are restarting this one. I had a look at the fuselage halves last night to decide how I will proceed with scribing or making the important paneling come to life.

Excellent! Glad to see this start up again.

Popcorn!!!

Yesterday I restarted the project with a first draft to replace the crude underwing cowler.
Here again the issue and how it looked in reality.




So I drew a new one as parametric 3D model based on the imo best and most representative drawing I have.
Today I wanna add a few more details and then I am going to print it out. One more for Bruce too.
