I do admire anyone with the skills and patience to do some of the fabulous Scale models we see of various things.

I just received an email with 30 odd pictures of a guy, Japanese I think, who builds scale fighter aircraft the like that has to be seen to be believed.

This email showed a Corsair and a P51 Mustang in so much intricate detali, everything works, as it was originally intended with chains and cables operating all the controls.

These are not flying models, they are built in 'Cutaway' form so the fine detail of his workmanship cabn be seen and admired.

I would like to share the pics with you but I don't know how.  Can I upload all pics to a post, once resized of course?

Cheers

Neil

I used to make models in the pre computer era, some are still to be seen in Museums, the steam launch is now owned by a wealthy businessman in Brisbane.
