It's unbelievable how much research and design work went into this unusual model.

Seen from the outside you may have the impression that « Scratch-CADing » is less  time-consuming than real scratch building. It is not! Though the mayor advantage is that it offers the possibility to adjust and redo each parts again and again. :-\
So, I needed two weeks to finish the «right» attachement equippment.
But I am quite pleased as it turned out!

I'm also pleased with how it turned out. Even better, not only is it perfect, but nobody has any idea how many corrections you may have, or may NOT have, made. -- Russ
