Yes, that is an amazing feat that he accomplished. The detail is fantastic and the work superb. Wish I had some kind of talent like that.

If it's miniature and requires more than Testor's glue, I'm screwed. This guy's work is nothing short of phenomenal.

This reminds me of a fellow I met as a boy in Ohio:

My dad took us to the museum one weekend, Mr. Warther sat up front and would carve the little pliers out you see his brother holding for a couple bucks. The detail on some of the stuff was just unbelievable.
If your ever in the area it's well worth a look.

Amazing indeed, but as talented as he is, you might think he could have it a little larger, like maybe 15 or so feet larger.

Just amazing. People with that commitment to perfection are amazing. My attention span being what it is... precludes me from that scale of project.

The 312 has a glass body, he's building a 330 P4 with an aluminum body.
