It looks great to me, Lot of detail for something so small.

I agree. .....The fit and finish is fantastic for something like this. ......Who makes it ?

Sure could've fooled me. I would've thought it was another 1/18th scale plane if you hadn't mentioned it's scale. Great looking plane!

This is a 1/48 scale model kit. Years of experience and hours of sanding and painting is the only way to get a model with that kind of finishing.
That model was featured on

Yeah,......I could'nt tell if it was "hand-crafted",..or something from the "Franklin Mint" collection.

Thats what first caught my eye. It looks like a finely detailed diecast miniature. Simply beautiful work. Anyways, I figured it would fuel a few imaginations and innovations from some of the more gifted customizer here, (and make the un-gifted, such as myself push ourselves a bit harder).
Besides, it looked too damn good not to share with you guys
