        Very tiny & very bright! Nearly had to get the sunglasses out!


        1/72 is bad enough, but 1/144 is just plain crazy .... see what I did there?


        I'll get me coat!

            I've got a funny feeling your trying to tell us this is small Tony. .


            Awesome work there mate until the pictures of it in your hand it looks like a 1/72 if not bigger,

              The canopy framing looks a little too fat, but given the overall miniature size of the kit that is amazing work and I doubt you could get the framing any thinner without going insane Tony. A shelf space saver that one Great build!

                Thanks guys , yes i thought the vertical canopy frames were a bit wide too but theyre quite prominent on the moulding so i couldnt make them any thinner unless i sanded them all off !! Cheees tony

                        Amazing on any scale but @ 1/144 scale very impressive.I remember doing that hurricane you gave me at Cosford last year so I now how tricky these little suckers can be .

                          wow is all I can say. the 1/72 one is already small and how you painted the canopy framing is beyond me...outstanding.

                              I just like it because the NA engineers designed it so that a mechanic can remove the fuselage side pannels and have full access to the "inn-erds" of the plane without having to crawl down a dark cramped fuse and have bits and pieces sticking into your back LOL.
