I was forwarded a email featuring pictures of this gentleman's handy work. All I can say is amazing! You decide for yourself! this gentleman's name is listed as Young Park of Hawaii. Every piece has been handmade by Mr. Park and is fully functional. all levers and knobs in **** pit turn, all wing surfaces move with input from cockpit.

There was a thread a few years ago about him and these models. Apparently, everything works (the moving parts). Amazing work.

Thanks for the info Chris, I should have looked for a previous thread, I'm usually a little late to these parties! Sorry for the double post!

Impressive work
No worries! Keeps the subject fresh!

Beautiful, but I'll be honest. If I had that much talent I would build a full size one instead of this!
Imagine Tamigawa offering a kit with similar detail - price $1,000,000 !!!

Then he'd have to have a much larger workbench!

Seen these before but never ceases to to amaze.
I saw it in person and couldn't believe my eyes.
This guy isn't a craftsman. hes an artist.

While it has been posted before, I too never get tired of being reminded of such unworldly talent. Truly amazing and astonishing. A wonder of the world that is priceless, if you ask me. Should be in a world class museum.

I'm with you David.
Initially I was wondering what scale then I saw the tweezers picture. Damned if this not some of the finest work I've seen, but then you have to ask yourself.....'what do you do to top this?'
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget
It was offered to the Smithsonian with the condition it was to be put on display. They was enthusiastic in adding it to their collection, but couldn't guarantee that
I myself think this is worthy to be in the oval office in the White House.
Like I have said many times .... you have to see it in person!
