  1. A most impressive presentation, Hans...the detail is amazing given the [small] scale. I really like the way you did the base/diorama. Outstanding photographic effects as well. Great work, my friend - an all around winner.

  2. Hans...I like the way you placed the pilot in the shot to show how large that plane is. Nice model and presentation.

  3. Nice work indeed! We need a Tempest in 1/48 (need I say 1/32?). How did you do the plaque?
