That is art! I have to take a first row seat here and see the progress. Very impressive 👍

Spanjaard
certainly not going to miss thus master class

Dave Flitton
Wow, watching!!

Skyhiker
Right on!

Greg Baker
Oh, sign me up. I'd watch F_IV do the laundry.

Robert Podkoński
I will follow this talent show with pleasure.

gorby
Lovely work.

Michael Kohl
Surely another build that will leave me speechless and striving to come closer to this level.

F_IV
Omg thanks everyone. You guys are the best! I'm interested to see how this one comes out. I'll add more progress soon. 🤞

Ludvík Kružík
I like old planes from the early days of aviation. Your scrathbuild is fantastic. I admire how you can render all the little details in this scale. I wish you continued success in building this model and look forward to the sequel.

Bruce Huxtable
Your talents are beyond my comprehension.... Totally amazing scratch building 🙂 This little gem is already gorgeous🙂

Shar Dipree
Great work so far! 👍👍👍👍

bughunter
Another great little bird in that microscopic scale 👍

F_IV
Added a new pic. Starting on the cockpit details 👌

Bruce Huxtable
More micro-perfection. Astonishing 🙂

Michael Kohl
By the way: will your book be available in Telford in November?

F_IV
Hi Michael, I'm not sure. It should be out by then but I don't know if any sellers will be stocking it. I live in Australia unfortunately, so Telford is well outside my maximum range 😢

F_IV
Added the large control wheel to the pilot's cockpit from soldered wire and heat curved sprue. I like the little brass hub in the middle 🙂

Skyhiker
You seem to have really good control over your soldering. What tools do you have? That control wheel is impressive.

gorby
The many years training to be a jeweler probably helps. 😄

F_IV
@Skyhiker I have an inexpensive soldering iron from an electronics store. It is nothing special, but the best thing I have is liquid soldering flux. Using that allows the solder to grab the surface and stick without requiring too much heat or flooding the area with solder.

@gorby Being a jeweller helped at first. But now I am finding that the modelmaking is helping me be a better jeweller! 👍

Alec K
Outstanding work! The book is on order 👍

F_IV
Wow, thank you Alec! Hopefully it will be in your mailbox soon 🙏
I added a few more pics. Test fitting the undercarriage and one of the prototype wheels.

Christian Bruer
Outstanding craftsmanship. I really like your tiny scratch built projects 👍

Michael Kohl
Me too.
But obviously he doesn't show how he did the wheels to prevent us from fainting. 😉

Skyhiker
I just don't get how its possible. Really man, you need to get a life or something. This shit is just way too good!

Mr D
Wow, what scale👌, l struggle to build a 1:72 without breaking of a tail wheel or antenna 🤣.
Really nice n interesting subject 👍👍

Skyhiker
Where do you get your blueprints?

Cuajete
Very nice painting job so far 👍

Alejandro Caballero
Thank you! Now it's time for weathering!

AJMM
Beautifully done. The paint work and weathering is spot on.

Alejandro Caballero
Thank you! It´s a very funny kit to build, very recommended!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Scot R
Quite the tail sitter isn't she. I really like how you detailed the fuel tanks. Nice work.

Spanjaard
very nice

Jennifer Franklin
Nice start, following.

Davy Vos
Thanks!

Patrick Hagelstein
Nice additions and cool colors in the cockpit! They liven up the basis kit parts substantially.

Ogre-Trombone
Impressive detailing! Following.

Alec K
Taking a seat. Nice progress so far 👍

Davy Vos
Thanks all!

Finn
Looking good, really like the detailing

Oliver
cool! following

Rona
Very impressive built! I think the most noticeable issue of the academy kit is the main landing gear. The legs are way too long (2mm) and the MLG doors are too massive. But this is relatively easy to fix. Following!

Davy Vos
Thank you very much! And Rona, thank you for those tips!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
I think I´ll take a seat here my friend 🙂 good progress 👍

Davy Vos
Nice to see you here too! 🙂

J35J
Great paintwork!👍🏻

Thomas Kolb
Great work on the riveting fading representation!

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Davy Vos
Thank you all!

Nicolas
Very good so far, Joining

Alec K
Superb painting skills 👍

Michael Kohl
I like your efforts at detailing and painting. Mottling and oils lead to a good overall effect.

Oliver
Good Job

Moreno Baruffini
Your quality is truly impressive! Absolutely superb!

Maciej Bellos
Oh that's inspiring. Bookmarked for reference!

Davy Vos
Thank you very much all!

Mr D
Do you use copper wire??
I was watching a YouTube vid and the guy was using the wire out of sandwiches bag ties, you know the type they twist to hold new electric cables ect.
It looked ideal for simulating wiring n break lines ect.
Nice job on the seatbelt's looking good 👌
