Okay, I'm blown away. Would love to get the English version. I guess it is going to be a flying model, but can't tell for sure. I think the text said it would weigh 25 Kilos.

Did you notice how clean his workshop is? Unless he moves it there for the photos. At best my shop looks like an unmade bed.

Hi,
Go to the jet site, we've been following this for months. What you see him building is the male mold to make the female mold for the
f/g/composite parts. When he has made all of the molded parts, then he'll build the model.

Man....that guy is NFA! (not "fooling" around)

Great shop too. Did ya see the press for the foam flying surfaces? You can't go to Lowe's (or the Norwegian equivalent) and buy that.

seems more like german not norwegien to me. But anyway if want to get a clue of the story use translator from internet. Let it translate from german to english, there will be some mistakes as the translater will not reqognise all the words but you`ll get the basic.

I went to the site, which told me I needed an update. I updated, and still the pictures show up as a big red 'X'.

Ja, es ist deustch, nicht Norge. I can almost remember enough of it to understand it.

Really nice project. Wonder if it will be able to do the Cobra move the real Su-27 does?

Yes, you guys state side are seriously missing out on the Euro scale seen.

As you have already noted, the Germans take their modelling veerrry, veerrrry seriously indeed! If you could go to some of the model exhibition/expos' you'll fall over with regards to the quality of 1. the aeroplanes and 2. the equipment... simply out of this world.

If you think Top Gun is great stuff... be advised, these guys are "Zero" rated on the world FAI scale scene! The only guy that could be competitive is the Canadian Graham Merers. Non of this squint eyed static judging US style.... this is in your face, out with a magifying glass static judging! You just can't believe what you are looking at... ant it's not just aeroplanes... check out the scale helicopters... with 5 blade total scale rotor heads
open the scale door, using the scale handle conected to a scale lock and check out the scale harness the locks in a totally scale way with a totally scale mechanism!!!!!! And they Fly them......Hallo!

Well think about it. It must take a whole 10 or 15min for the glue to set up Pete

Maybe I'm just being a pessimist again but,... is this a FLYING model or just a museum piece? I mean,... how heavy is this plane and with all of the beautiful metal work,... not a single control surface linkage or engine mount! I would think that these things would have to be worked out and photographed prior to the cosmetic fuse. I'm not seeing it. Maybe it's all underneath.

Like F106A said this is just the plug for the mold of the fiberglass parts that will become a very large model.
