Very tiny & very bright! Nearly had to get the sunglasses out!


1/72 is bad enough, but 1/144 is just plain crazy .... see what I did there?


I'll get me coat!

Awesome work there mate until the pictures of it in your hand it looks like a 1/72 if not bigger,

The canopy framing looks a little too fat, but given the overall miniature size of the kit that is amazing work and I doubt you could get the framing any thinner without going insane Tony. A shelf space saver that one :smiling3: Great build!

Amazing on any scale but @ 1/144 scale very impressive.I remember doing that hurricane you gave me at Cosford last year so I now how tricky these little suckers can be .

wow is all I can say. the 1/72 one is already small and how you painted the canopy framing is beyond me...outstanding.

I just like it because the NA engineers designed it so that a mechanic can remove the fuselage side pannels and have full access to the "inn-erds" of the plane without having to crawl down a dark cramped fuse and have bits and pieces sticking into your back LOL.

Brilliant small-scale work, Tony. Didn't know this kit existed, your build has inspired me to order one (my wife passes along her thanks).
