You're gonna lose your sight one day mate - you have been warned 😋

Count me in!
Damn that's tiny 👀

XO This is gonna be interesting! Following!

Soooo small.... Incredible 👀

Bruce Huxtable
I've seen larger bumblebees! Watching with interest, of course, Robert.
23 May 2022, 20:42
Ludvík Kružík
Beautiful work Robert. The suspended equipment is ready ... but where is the main model? 😄 😄 😄

I wish the construction is successful and I will follow with interest.
23 May 2022, 21:54
Greg Baker
1/144! Save me a seat down front! You should put dc motors in them!
24 May 2022, 06:23
Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Mates! I have not expected such an interest...
@Łukasz - I read medieval manuscripts (for money in a sense 😉 ), so my sight is already condemned...
@Greg - I am afraid that the undercarriage won't be strong enough to withstand motors... 😉
@Ludvik - I was looking for the main model in the box, but found only these, even though it is written on the box that there are two complete kits inside... LOL 😄
24 May 2022, 07:29
Ludvík Kružík
... and what to believe when you can't even rely on information from the manufacturer. 😄 😄 😄

I am very curious what the finished models will look like.

John Hughes
Are you sure you will find shelf space for these?
3 June 2022, 12:13
Robert Podkoński
We'll see when I will finish them, John... 😄

Simon Nagorsnik
OMG! so tiny!
Only crazy people do something like this 😉Try not to swallow them 😂
3 June 2022, 13:03
Łukasz Gliński
Risky sport in the summer, when the windows used to be open 😛
3 June 2022, 13:11
Robert Podkoński
LOL 😄
@Simon - I also intend to do rigging on them...
3 June 2022, 13:16
Łukasz Gliński
You make me consider starting my Chupacabra Robert, but the biggest challenge stopping me so far is the canopy scratchbuilding.
3 June 2022, 13:20
Bruce Huxtable
These look neat already, but I can't wait to see them in their full glory. I wish you steady hands, Robert. Don't sneeze!
3 June 2022, 13:32
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Rigging too? 😮
3 June 2022, 13:43
Robert Podkoński
Thanks for your interest, Mates 🙂
@Łukasz - go for it!!!
@Robin - this is the plan for now, but first I have to find Uschi van den Rosten elastic thread I put somewhere...
3 June 2022, 13:55
gorby
Wow they really are tiny!
3 June 2022, 14:13
Maciej Bellos
Robert, you are nuts man! Uttermost respect my friend!
3 June 2022, 17:50
bughunter
Sooo sweeeeeet 👍
3 June 2022, 17:57
Robert Podkoński
Thank you very very much, Maciej! 🙂 and Bughunter too, of course 😉
3 June 2022, 19:37
Ludvík Kružík
Robert, making rigging on such small models is almost on a par with shackling a flea. I wish the model building to go well. 👍
5 June 2022, 21:48
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Ludviku! Fortunately, the rigging is relatively simple here...I hope 😉
6 June 2022, 04:55
Bruce Huxtable
They're coming together really nicely, I liking the livery lots 🙂
2 July 2022, 12:23
Ludvík Kružík
Your two dwarfs look very good! 👍 I look forward to seeing them finished.
2 July 2022, 17:03
Robert Podkoński
Thank you for your interest, Bruce and Ludvik - I am back by the bench 😉
2 July 2022, 20:15
Robin (WhiteGlint)
You're making good progress on the tiny racing bees. Masking them must have been troublesome?
3 July 2022, 07:31
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Robin, much appreciated. To be sincere, it was troublesome - vinyl masks on small but complex areas do not work well...
3 July 2022, 07:33
bughunter
Wow, soo tiny!
19 July 2022, 15:16
Robert Podkoński
A bit too tiny, I must admit, Frank... 😄
19 July 2022, 15:53
Dominik Weitzer
sweet :-D
20 July 2022, 06:13
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Oh that rigging 👀 Very good 👍
20 July 2022, 06:47
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Robin, you're too kind to me. I will try better with the R-2...
20 July 2022, 07:23
Simon Nagorsnik
Looks so cute😂
Very good work with the rigging!
20 July 2022, 07:48
bughunter
I didn't know that MRP now offers the paints in 1 litre bottles 😉 👍
20 July 2022, 07:55
Neuling
So cute .......
20 July 2022, 08:03
Spanjaard
they look fantastic!
20 July 2022, 08:06
Robert Podkoński
Thank you all, Mates - but the journey has not finished yet... the R-2 is still to be rigged and finished... @Bughunter - how have you noticed that, Frank? 😉
20 July 2022, 08:43
Łukasz Gliński
Hoping my A-Model Chupacabra would look half that good 👍
20 July 2022, 08:45
gorby
Wow - fantastic work Robert!
I'd be happy if I did a 1/48 Gee Bee that well.
20 July 2022, 08:47
Robert Podkoński
You're too kind, Łukasz. I am sure it will look much better (from my own experience - be careful with the decals...)
20 July 2022, 08:47
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Gorby! You're much too harsh to yourself...
20 July 2022, 08:49
Bruce Huxtable
Superb, Robert, I'm very impressed by your workmanship. How on earth did you paint the frames on the tiny canopies? Very neat results 🙂
20 July 2022, 09:26
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Bruce, much appreciated! To be sincere, the frames are the decals provided with the kit - one of the most thoughtful features of it IMHO.
20 July 2022, 10:27
Bruce Huxtable
The decals certainly give a very neat result, Robert. (I've used spare black lines for the same purpose, for 1:72 canopies, but black isn't the right colour on my project). These tiny canopies must have needed a good eye and a steady hand! 🙂
21 July 2022, 09:56
Robert Podkoński
Cleaning and installing the canopies was perhaps the most nerve-shaking process during this build, Bruce. But one should not forget that assembling plastic models is a relaxing hobby... 😉
Thanks Roland!
21 July 2022, 11:54
Marcin Dudek
Wow! Looks grate. Incredible! Congratulations! It looks better than my 1/48 Gee Bee 😉
22 July 2022, 06:29
Greg Baker
Keep that one away from children… they're liable to pop it in their mouth! Sweet!
23 July 2022, 06:20
David R. Meizoso
Lovely Chupacabra pill, looks great despite the masking difficulties!
23 July 2022, 08:14
bughunter
My best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Can you still smell something? I couldn't even smell Tamiya Extra Thin or Alclad - very strange!
23 July 2022, 10:32
Ludvík Kružík
Really great work. To build such a nice model in this scale is beyond my comprehension. 👍 I think you could also shackle a flea. 🙂
23 July 2022, 12:20
Robert Podkoński
Thank you all, Mates, for your kind words 😆... I'll try better with the R-2, I promise...
24 July 2022, 05:23
Guy Rump
So tiny and such great modelling, congrats Robert. 👍
24 July 2022, 07:26
David R. Meizoso
@Robert, are you planning to build the AeroBase one too? That's even tinier!
@Bughunter: I'm just fine, can smell Mr Levelling Thinner at least (sorry for the off topic, Robert)
24 July 2022, 07:34
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Guy 🙂
@David : I built the AeroBase GeeBee and it is bigger,in fact.
24 July 2022, 09:54
Robert Podkoński
@David: No worries, I am happy to hear that you recovered, too. Take a look at my project photo, there it is (AeroBase GeeBee). Still all aff them are piece of cake compared to your Handley Page...😉
25 July 2022, 06:23
Simon Nagorsnik
Really, exceptionally outstanding performance from you 👍👍
21 August 2022, 08:04
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Simon, much appreciated 🙂 I've tried to do my best....
21 August 2022, 08:05
Ludvík Kružík
Very nice dwarf. I admire your patience and watchmaking precision. Well done! 👍 👍 👍
21 August 2022, 09:39
Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, Ludvik, for your kind words 🙂
21 August 2022, 10:15
Łukasz Gliński
Pure madness, makes me consider an examine for my eyesight 😋
21 August 2022, 10:32
Robert Podkoński
Why not, Łukasz 😄 I just got my new reading-glasses...
21 August 2022, 10:57
Mike Szwarc
Beautiful tiny work! 👍
21 August 2022, 11:07
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Mike!
21 August 2022, 11:11
Łukasz Gliński
That explains the quality of this build 👍
21 August 2022, 12:14
Robert Podkoński
I suppose the abstinence from coffee was equally important factor... 😉
21 August 2022, 12:22
Bruce Huxtable
Wow! The final pair together are astonishing, Robert! Truly superb 👍👍👍
21 August 2022, 15:09
Bruce Huxtable
I must refrain from asking if you are tempted to turn that match stick into a propeller.... Something tells me you would succeed 🙂
21 August 2022, 15:11
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Bruce, you're too kind 😉
21 August 2022, 15:47
Marcin Dudek
- This is madness!
- No. This is scale modeling!!!
Grate job 👏
21 August 2022, 16:02
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Marcin, much appreciated 😉
21 August 2022, 16:33
Robert Podkoński
Thanks for all the 'likes', Mates! 🙂
22 August 2022, 06:40
Neuling
Incredible. Such a high degree of detailing and cleanness in such a small scale! 👍
22 August 2022, 10:05
Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, Neuling, I feel honoured with your comment. 🙂
22 August 2022, 10:07
bughunter
What a nice comparison between those nice two models!
The only bad thing about the Aerobase kits is the availability in Europe.
22 August 2022, 13:29
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Bughunter, much appreciated... I am sorry about this fact, too
22 August 2022, 13:45
Greg Baker
A true work of art. Simply beautiful.

incredibly detailed for this size!!!
Very nice 🙂

Thank you, Thomas, much appreciated!

Incredible builds Robert !! Have seen Delmar Benjamin fly the R2 on numerous occasions, now in a museum. One of the most incredible showcases of flying I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing !!
17 October 2022, 02:28
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, John, you're too kind 🙂 I would love to see the R2 in flight, you lucky man 😉

I have to agree with the previous posts. Great work and incredible detail on a model in this scale.
Congratulations Robert! It's certainly a little gem for your collection. 👍
17 October 2022, 11:33
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Ludviku, you're too kind.

Peter Mollenhauer
Very good, Robert, my congrats! I have this kit in my stash, too. Your build report is a welcome inspiration. ☺
9 December 2022, 12:58
Torsten
So tiny, so cute, so well done, like it, Congrats 😎
9 December 2022, 13:08
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Peter - I will be happy to be of any assistance to you 🙂 Thank you, Torsten, for your kind words.

David Smith
Fantastic work! My eyesight would not be up to this and it trashes any excuses I have for not rigging 1:72 biplanes.
26 December 2022, 12:44
Robert Podkoński
Thank you, David, much appreciated. I take advantage of the elastic thread in such cases, which is quite user-friendly.
26 December 2022, 15:08
Nathan Dempsey
All the praise you've received is well deserved. Amazing work!
4 February 2023, 17:00
Robert Podkoński
Thank you for reaching this out of my finished kits, Nathan. And you're too kind to me...
