Hang on.  I think some of these instructions are in French.

 

And if the instructions are correct, which I doubt, you're making the wrong kit.

 

[Putty Animal]

Phew!  All done.  1/144 scale modelling isn't what it used to be.  Nor are my eyes! 😭

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Johnson]

Beautiful!

 

(Have you considered an Opitivisor? I couldn't manage without it these days)

[Ngantek]

Astonishing work!

[AdrianMF]

Wow. Another masterpiece! I have to say those gallon drums of Humbrol paint do last a long time...

 

Regards,

Adrian

I’ve been yearning to this one finished….  And it is of course ridiculously good.  An 11 out of 10 from me.

Awesome

[John Laidlaw]

That is glorious!

[Putty Animal]

Thanks chaps.  It's good to have this one out of the way.

Hi Johnson, I have several optivisors but I find them much too heavy and cumbersome, especially in the summertime.  I stopped using them and switched to lightweight non-prescription reading glasses like you get from chemist stores.  I have a bunch in various magnifications.  My current favourites are 4.5+ and 6+ which let me get things up close to my nose, while keeping one eye on whatever I'm watching on netflix

Gidday @Putty Animal, that's a superb model, it's incredible how you've resurrected this 'awful kit'. Extremely well done. 👍 Regards, Jeff.

Dear Lord above!  I surrender to your magnificence!!!

[Putty Animal]

Here we go again!  Same "parts".  Different shapes.  🇫🇷 

 

[ColonelKrypton]

Looks like a Hanriot (I think) fell out of the box after you gave it a shake.

 

cheers, Graham

It's moving along even if is 'same parts, different shapes'. That bl**dy matchstick loves getting in on the act...

Notice how it’s always the same one too.  It’s the only one I have 😅

i don't think i could even see to build this small plane at the scale it's in.. gobsmacked is an understatement! my hat goes off to you Sir!

[Putty Animal]

Nearly there. But I'm getting double vision. 😭

 

 

[Alan P]

That's just extraordinary. Miniature marvels!

[ArnoldAmbrose]

Gidday @Putty Animal, those are beautiful. And so small. The pilot would be about 1/2'' tall? Speaking of which, does that 'worst kit' come with aircrew? 😀

Seriously, they're exquisite, to match your other models. Regards, Jeff.

[Gaspode]

Very impressive work. I know I couldn't cope with the frustration of dropping the little bits just as I was about to place them! I find it bad enough working at 1/48.

[Dave Slowbuild]

Wonderful work Putty!
Wish you could see the broad smile on my face, your builds always give me a lift!

[2996 Victor]

Ye gods! I just don't know how you manage these microscopic jewels. Astounding, beautiful, incredible, delightful. Superlatives just don't do your masterpieces justice.

 

In awe,

Mark

I missed this entire thread during a lengthy modelling sabbatical but have just had a lot of fun reading through it all. I've seen the DH.2 before but not the exquisite Nieuports. They're barely longer than your thumb nail!

Ok - up till now I thought you are highly professional at building large scale matches and Humbrol tins to photoshoot them next to 1:48 scale kits - well this is what I would have done...

Awesome work!
