Kenny, welcome to my world! :bye: :shoutout:

Having built some 460+ aircraft in 1/72 scale I am not surprised or amazed at the small size of these; I'm too used to them. I do agree, many companies offer far better detail than others, but still, the concept is the same. I do commend you for your outstanding work in detailing out these tiny planes; something I myself am loathe to do. Your work is exceptional and I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you, gentlemen, thank you very much!

I think another idea about this whole project in-general that I’ve come around to is- it doesn’t really matter how long it takes to complete the model(s). While the initial building of the 1:72 went fairly quickly, I put a lot of time into painting it and adding details. The 1:32? Man oh man, I’ll be coming up on a year with that project before too long. I put a lot of time into each step with that bird, and I took some fairly lengthy breaks between steps. I felt like I had to because each step was exhausting :lol: especially the paint job :lol: ... Anyway, I need breaks. The breaks help.

I have been missing COMPLETELY out on this thread. Work has had me exceptionally busy to the point that I just come home, eat and go to bed these days so my forum time has been compromised throughout the week. I refuse to give up bench time so I've got that all covered but I miss coming in here and hangin' out with my "peeps".
With all that being said I'd like to take the opportunity after catching up in here to tell you what great work I see. I've always been a stickler for details in a model and I definitely see plenty of that going into this build. Paint work is astounding as well. Build on Kenny...this one's gonna be a whopper dude. :shocked:

I do not even aspire to work that detailed in 1/72. My hands sometimes shake at higher amplitude the that Zero's wing chord!
