With the nose stud pattern angled up at about 25 degrees or so I was surprised to see how well you tied this back in (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

I really love these built up, heavily snotted slope noses which are somewhere between classic lego park (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Klaus, Simply marvelous, I saw a few pictures of your Gigant in an earlier post praising German AFOLs, and it's great to see even more of it, and the other vehicles in your diorama. It's amazing to consider that it could even fly. Thanks, (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

How did you achieve it, and keep the surface so uniform and tight near the joints? Now, all you troops need are (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

To tilt the wing tips I simply used hinge plates (part (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Hi Klaus Great model again! I like the colors and the studless appearance. Is this large aircraft in the same scale as your earlier Ju-52, DC-3, DC-4 etc? This model must be rather heavy - have you strengthened the wings internally in some (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| Klaus, WOW! This is quite amazing! I can't say much but echo everyone else sentiments, you've pulled off some very challenging angles and shapes here, and the result is terrific! Always interesting to see WWII hardware I hadn't seen before. Does the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Hi Matthias, yes, this model is in the same scale as my other aircraft models, roughly 1:40 Minifig scale. I strengthened the wings only with a few rows of Technic bricks. For the rest I used simple plates. At the moment I do not have time to (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Here are a few picture links to the actual aircraft: (URL) was surprised that even here in Germany, not to many visitors at (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)
