I was browsing the internet the other day idly looking at various things SE5a related, when I came across this. I always thought the models on here by the likes of DD and poppy etc were detailed but this guy takes it to a completely different level! Admittedly he's working on a much bigger scale, but I have never, ever, before seen such breathtaking attention to detail. Apparently it's taken him 15 months to get to this stage, and he reckons it'll be another 9 to finish it off! Here's the link http://www.scale-models.co.uk/view.php?pg=se5a

Wow makes my four months look meager!

Ever since I first became aware of scale modeling in the UK, back in the 1950's, I have been amazed at the extent of detail that British modelers can put into their flying models. Yes, visit the link, this SE-5 is going to fly! I'll bet his research is down to the correct number of stitches showing up under the rib tapes. In my collection of Aeromodler magazines from the 1950's some of the magazine published plans look as though they just made minor modifications to the plans for the real airplane.

Chris, at the RAF museum, Hendon, there is a 1/5 scale model of a Spitfire 1A that is complete down to the last rivet and is incredible. It took David Glen 12 yrs. to complete. He is now 2 yrs. into building a P-51D in same scale and detail. Courtesy FlyPast Mag. April,2007 issue.
