Agreed. It's so good this hobby provides the builder with a practically endless supply of parts when one messes up a piece and a printer is near by. A luxury a common plastic modeller most of the time doesn't have...

Well done in deed, another masterpiece.

Now you've finished her time to hijack and show a re colour I meant to do when I first designed her.....

That looks absolutely wonderful, Gary. The two-pages per sheet still gives you a nice big plane. I love the colour scheme. According to certain sources there also were ones in full camo, but that yellow belly looks great on those planes.

I still want to try the pre-war KLM edition I work on in 1/300 and make it into a diorama with the 1928-era Schiphol building.
Noorderlicht Architekten rebuilt the complex (which was destroyed in 1943) in Lelystad at the premises of the Aviodrome, the Dutch air& space museum.

They also made a paper model of it you can get from their site. It's on page#7 and consits of four items; Bouwplaat 1, Bouwplaat2, Bouwplaat toelichting and Bouwplaat tips. It's in Dutch, but for who wants a short transcription, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I need to build this one too. Another minor hijack, though. Gary, while you're at it, can you revisit the original? I don't know if I downloaded an early copy that wasn't quite ready, or if it was a genuine, but rare, mistake on your part. There are no markings of any kind (codes, lines rivets,etc.) on the aft section of the fuselage, and the code on the bottom wing reads G-AAAG, instead of G-AAGX. Otherwise it was great, no assembly issues at all, just my own mistake of not putting wire inside any of the struts. Some are looking a bit wavy now.

Well I never noticed the typo on the wings until now, I guess I'll have to correct it when I upload the new version. Thank you for spotting it..
