I’m in awe….I’d go blind, cripple and crazy tryin’ to do sumthin’ like that! You must have patience of Job. You certainly have the talent, though. A fantastic job, sir.

Stunning Hans. I have to agree with Craig. A build like this would drive me nuts.

The amount of rigging on this model is astounding. It would be interesting to learn about your technique – have you drilled through the wings, or glued in place etc.
Anyway, congratulations to the great result!

I drill 0.20 mm holes and pull the thread through glues and filling it, after it is painted with Color.
Regards Hanspeter

Wow. Incredible at 1/72 and as others have said, the rigging job must have been a challenge. Very nice, and way beyond my abilities. Thanks for the photos.

Having built one of this company’s kits in this scale (Caproni – images posted elsewhere) I can say that a kit of this scale and type are not for the faint-hearted. As you can read in the comments, WWI builds of this quality are always popular here. Well done.

Nice clean build of a not so common kit.

Incredible, and in 1/72!

Great build of a rare aircraft. Those early aviation subjects always fascinates me!
I would have used thinner monofilament for the rigging, but thats just me.
I have a question regarding the chorozny model bud kits as a whole. How do you found this kit of a quality perspective? I’m considering if I should get their Taube or wait someone (WnW hopefully) to produce one in styrene 🙂
Best regards,
Sasho

Hello Alexander, I say once and never such a kit, the quality of her I can say no thank you. This is my opinion

Hans,
I am with all of the other comments. I would go nuts trying to do what you have done here. My hat is off to your skill in making this exceptional model.
