Some people have insane talent, when it comes to scale modelling.

I like scale models that are three times larger than the original article.

But I do appreciate the craftsmanship that goes with a scratch built model.

Freaking incredible! You're correct, the detail on rivets, wiring and everything else is crazy. Darn talented!

He's lives in South America, born and raised there. After ww2, a couple of the counties down there, bought and flew them in their military.

What? Making models of stuff?

 

[Richard Cranium]

I don't have the patience to assemble plastic models any more. That's some real talent & skill right there!

It takes an incredible amount of skill to build models like that from scratch. I used to love building model cars when I was a schoolkid, but the glue was hurting my grades.

The Spitfire is on display at the Royal Air Force Museum in England. It took him over 11 years to build. As far as the other planes being for sale I don't know.
