Stunning work! To tackle this at 1/72 must take the patience of a saint. Looking forward to seeing more projects.

I am torn between thinking that you are seriously disturbed. Or seriously talented. I'll read that as you being disturbingly talented. That's some incredible work.

Hi,
Briliant build, really amazing.
Very nice to see somebody do this piece of my countries history and from scratch non the less.
Out of curiosity how did you get the idea considering you are from Guatemala and I would guess this would be an obscure subject outside the Netherlands?
Just a small remark, the plane is called the "Spin" not Spinne.
Fokker was a dutch guy and the dutch spin means spider in english.
I just wanted to mention this in case you plan to make a name plate.
Kind regards,
Pascal
