Fermis, that second method was a brilliant way to make that antenna! Simply magnificent work! I can't wait to see more.

Thanks guys!
Got the plane built today. Tedious! 16 pieces total.
Antenna is stretched sprue, as is the antenna wire...may or may not be able to see it in the pics...it's about 1/10th the width of my hair.

Nice! Thanks for the " how to" and "how not to" on the antenna.... I did not know that some of the Seaplane IJN subs also carried the midget subs. Wow!

That's it... I quit! I could never measure up to such masterful magnificence! Fermis, I have run out of words to describe the complete amazement at your incredibly phenomenal work! We going to see this at the Nationals in Omaha? I'm actually trying to go.

Wouh Fermis,
this is almost crazy, so fantastic tiny build, full of details! And the plane, man!
Could never fix that with my eyes...

Hadn't posted any comments, really. Just don't know what to say. Good job, outstanding...all seem so, so, so appropriate! Wow, that is some amazing work. Love the toot on the antennae. I burst out laughing just thinking about trying that. I can't get the sprue to stretch that much.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
