    Thanks, Jon. Well, it's complicated: We also have the smoke from the wildfires, and the brown pollution from the city when it's blowing offshore. Other than that, blue skies. Some people claim it rained once when they were children, and many describe things on the sky that could be construed as objects described in encyclopedias as clouds, but those are surely urban myths.

    We know you, Bill, so don't try that on us! your builds are great! Outcome is by nature uneven, so many factor intervening; the criteria I guess is to have fun -if you can-, and do the best -with common sense- with what you are working from. My trick is sometimes to start from crap (as in this case), so the result has to be better 😄 Cheers

    Excellent clarification, Graham, thanks for posting it. I guess it will be a case of reviewing photos and see what can be done with it then. Cheers!

    Zanni (to the right of the photo) and Beltrame in Japan, waiting long for the weather to improve; it will be to no avail, as they will crash on departure and lose the plane.

    Thanks, and thanks also for the additional information, I wasn't aware of that, if that was the case it may spawn more models in local schemes!

    Thanks, Homer!

    You are exceedingly kind, dear sir. My granddaughter was my first. She (and my two sons and rest of the family) are many thousands of kilometers away, so for the moment it's digital grand-parenting, not that I can do much more than say "awww!". Glad you enjoyed the posting. Being an artist by trade, even if I do consider the history behind, my attraction towards a certain plane is mostly aesthetic*, but this case of course is the exception, hence the more extensive background. Once again, your kindness and encouragement are deeply appreciated. *Aesthetic is not necessarily equivalent to beautiful, as the Guernica easily proves. I love to no end the Farman Jabiru, for example.

    Good building techniques applied there!

    You are very kind, Chris! The photos courtesy of an old Canon camera and Hollywood-generated weather.

    Thanks John! I have now to disentangle my fingers after this one. Thanks! and believe me, I am also happy it's finally completed!

    Thanks, Adrian! It was a bit windy, though, and dust kept landing on the model, I had to be all the time with a soft brush cleaning it so it wont look like pistachio icecream with sprinkles topping.

    Thanks! It was....fun? 😄

    You made me snort my tea! 😆 The list is almost endless, and yet Mrs Moa remains unmoved. I do enjoy Coltrane, but I am afraid I can't play or read music, although I do eternally love my Bach, John Cage, Satie and many others. P/S: Hey, I can cook! (and paint!)

    Very kind, sir. Well, you know, me and green attires...😄 But the things we do for our sons!

    Thanks, Brandy. I am happy you enjoy the model (and may be you will like the land version I will post later today too). Not my usual cuppa, but I made you and my son happy, that has to count for something! 😁

    Thanks, Stuart, it was a long and winding road, but finally we arrived to destination.

    A strong start!

    Truly kind words, much appreciated, but it's just one aspiring model considering the many real jewels in the field. The work of many of my fellow modelers makes me thing I should just dedicate my modeling life to contemplation.

    Always a pleasure to share the hobby, Mark. Cheers.

    Thanks, SAT! Appreciate it, Michael!

    Thanks, Matt. The deeds of those brave people then are truly remarkable. Very kind words, appreciated!

    Phew! Good that you caught it! Wonderful supervision and quality control at Mikro-Mir Good work, Mike!
