[MacSongLi]

It's a great looking kit. I haven't seen this one before. The 1st build was a very nice outcome. You're doing a great job on the 2nd build. Thank you for the construction report and build steps.

Adolf, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work with us.

Your detailed description is very useful, and let us know more about this unusual kit. And your photographs are also great.

As you note, the Casalta model is full of beautiful details. And it is great to see it come to life in your skilled hands.

I have this kit too. And also received as gift. I'm sure I will go back to your build as reference In the future when I build mine.

Thanks a lot again!

Excellent model. Beautifully made. May I suggest that when you finish it, spray some dull coat because the original Tri-Planes were not shiny, nor clean. Such a beautiful rendition of the Tri-Plane deserves this small addition.
