That is fantastic!. Come on tell us you didn't shrink down a real one in a size machine? All the rigging is so good and at 1/72 scale too!

Great!! I'd love to see some WIP pics, every aspect of this build is superb. Congrats!

Wow, that was an arduous build! Thanks for the link, it's been very inspiring, and made my admiration reach new levels. Is the rigging attached to the surface via printed turnbuckles?

Turnbuckles are not printed, I made one and copied in resin. Don't like the result much, will do differently next time.

The rigging and the engines/props really look great here. Beautiful build of a classic early airliner. I enjoyed going through the album.

Perfect execution of the model of a beautiful plane. I am deeply impressed!

I really loved the way the props looked but ... had repainted them grey after the photos were taken as in reality they were covered with linen and painted rather than just varnished. I also changed the flag from the White Ensign to Civil Aviation Ensign.

Yes I saw that in the build log. I might build a HP 42 next so the detail the propellers were grey, I will try to remember. Very nicely done!

Totally wonderful. I wish I had just one tenth of that rigging skill. A little masterpiece.

Olivier, man hours - seriously? Management at work hates me for neglecting time sheets 🙂
I can say, however, that this modelling project was probably the most labour intensive of all I have ever taken.
David, I have HP42 in stash, both Contrail and OneMan, so I am thinking of kitbashing ... at some point ... maybe later ... much later ...

Elegant? C'mon, these flying suitcases are everything but elegant! Really elegant airliners of the era are the likes of Dewoitine 338, A.W. Ensign or any Italian trimotor, but I like them exactly for their bulkiness and ugliness 🙂

What technique did you use on the props? That is a great wood impression.

I looked at the pictures and could almost not believe my eyes! Absolutely masterpiece especially the rigging and control cables! I suppose that the base is a vacuum formed kit?
