Thank you Robert

This is the first video I've seen of this kind of model build, and I must say I admire your patience.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you for commenting, I’ve been building this model for about 4 years, mostly because I know when I’m ready to work on the project, and when I need to leave it well alone

[@andrepalomaro353]

Ridiculously gorgeous how does this not have more views? That thumbnail drew me in

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you for commenting , more views would be appreciated, but over the years I’ve learned to be happy with the recommenced KZbin put on the right people’s homepages

[@vfrbore1728]

I built this last year and found it a real challenge. It's definitely a precision kit and each steps takes mountains of patience to make things fit properly. I perhaps lacked the precision skills although it came out well in the end. Yours is fantastic and way better than my effort.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Thank you for commenting, and I’m sure your build looks fantastic

[@johanbardskar8467]

looking forward to a tutorial when you build the engine. Agree with you that it is a very challenging build. Also have a Messerschmidt waiting in the closet. Have a happy new model year 2025

😎 Very nice John ,sadly not got a Dremmel so if I was ever lucky enough to get this I'd have to sand the nose by hand 😂😂.

Love it !! I have build its opponent, the Fokker Dr 1. And yes, it is the babbit metal that gives problems, especially the bulkhead in my case. Great job on the polishing, i painted it, and did not use the side panels. Nor did i use the metal leading edges on the wings. It took away too much of the inner workings to my taste.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

Think I will have to build the Fokker Dr 1 Myself, and I agree with you on the metal edges, wish now I would have made them from wood

[@Mechanicalmodeller]

That’s a great job

[@collinmccallum]

My one third scale Camel was easier to assemble.
