| Fascinating to see a real scratch model emerging from the hands of a real craftsman. I wouldn't even know where to start. Bob's modesty prevents him from mentioning it but he's an accomplished maker of violins and violas. This is probably like child's play to him but inspiring for the rest of us.:-) |

| I agree with both David and poppy, I myself love scratch built models. This model is fantastic!!! |

| Ditto, only a few attempt it. If my memory is correct I have tried four times |

| Gentlemen! Thank you for your kind words - I would, however, like to say that while I am enjoying this aircraft build very much, it comes at a price - with much head-scratching, some errors & slip-ups too! My little grey cells get a work out.
.....but, Hey, is that not part of the course and enjoyment of building these models? It is for me. |

| That's the thing about this site: There is always something to learn, something to inspire and moreover levels of craftsmanship to aspire to reach. Well done to all here from a humble Newbie. |

| .....I am driven a great deal by the super craftsman-ship which is so much part of this "site" - thanks to you all, also my son James for making it all possible. (He is a much better "builder" than I am, or ever will be!) |

| I did a little studying on this plane, and the paint schemes are very cool. Looking forward to whatever you choose!

| Heck, even with directions and a kit I have head scratching, errors and slip-ups. This looks great. I would get the heebie jeebies just climbing the ladder to enter the cockpit.

| This bomber with the built in headwind is one of my favorite airplanes. Nice to see someone build a model of it. It's been on my to do list for a long time. Nice work!

| Excellent!!! Way back, when I was a kid,they had one of these hanging in the hobby shop that I worked in . It had a 11 ft. wingspan. Neat airplane. Good to see it modeled again. |
