Mikael Carlson builds/restores and flies these amazing old airplanes – “Mikael Carlson was born in 1959 and he has ever since childhood been most interested in aviation. Already at an early age he was a very skilful model airplane builder which eventually resulted in gold and silver medals at two consecutive World Championships for R/C scale models. A dozen of the static display models at the Swedish Air Force Museum are also built by Mikael, confirming his craftmanship. Today Mikael works as a captain on Boeing 737.
In 1982 – only 23 years old – Mikael started to build the Swedish 1919 fighter trainer “Tummelisa” as his first project. Only using original parts, engine and authentic material and techniques, the result was stunning. With the same approach Mikael’s two Bleriot XI’s have been completed and the Fokker D VII, which is soon expected to roll out from his workshop, looks just as promising.” [via] – Link.
