| Sorry guys. I just couldn't resist this one. |

| Can't blame you, poppy. I'm sure we all enjoy looking at this masterpiece! Hard to believe that this started out as nothing more than a bunch of balsa wood in a cardboard box...(shakes head in disbelief). |

| Can you spell diorama? I can only shake my head in wonder. My eight year old son exclaimed "Cool, that's what's on my Intrepid with the Corsairs, can you make that plane next daddy"? Thanks a lot Poppy. |

| 6 1/2 months later, my son won me over. Next up on the Moostang "to-build" list. Got to admit, the kid has good taste. Thanks for opening his eyes to a beautiful model Poppy. |

| ... and here it is. Just below the name in the upper left above is the "build thread" and on the same line to the right are the "next" and "prev". Clicking on those will advance or back up the photos. If you'll check out this particular one I think you'll see what is involved in sheeting a model that is designed and engineered to be covered with tissue or silkspan. |

| Incredible. Do you know how many hours did it take to build it like this ...? |

| Pretty! |

| Heinrich, this one took about 350 Hrs., but then I am kinda slow and also add a lot of detail that has to be engineered. The basic sheeting really doesn't take a lot of extra time. It is the filling and sanding before paint that takes time. |
