TonyTiger66 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I made one of these around 13 years ago Ozzy. I remember it needed filler in all the same places. I think I also had trouble with the main windows not fitting very well. It takes quite a bit of sanding and filling; you make it look easy . Did your windows fit OK? The 'U' support and seat/strap for the rear lower gun were tricky too. Agama do very nice colours for these. It's a lovely old kit, just looks so nice when built. You're doing a wonderful job and the interior detail you have added looks very good; I like your nice subdued aluminium shade for the interior too All the best TonyT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Really enjoying following this build. I recently built a 1980's vintage ZTS IL-2 Stormovik which was moulded in a green glow in the dark plastic and fought me at every stage of the build. But that makes me appreciate the finished article all the more look forward to seeing you beat this one. cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killingholme Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Excellent work on this handsome aircraft. Your little assistant certainly seems pleased with the result! For the engine, you could buy two of these- http://www.neomega-resin.com/bristol-pegasusalfa-romeo-126rc34-350-p.asp They are expensive, but I can say from my own experience that Vector Resin engines are very good. I believe "Czechmaster (CMQ72010 & CMK7268)" and "Radial Engines and Wheels (REW72002)" also make a resin Bristol Pegasus. you could open the cowling panels to display the engine?

Ozzyman69 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) It has always been important for me to know: Your opinions. I wish to expirience, create a pair of front engines sections using epoxy resin. Let`s try this. Like that: To be continued.

stevehnz Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 A good idea & you seem to be making a good job of it but, have another look at the two Pegasus photos posted above, the lower one that shows the front of the motor clearly shows an important feature of the Bristol radials, their push rods were central to the cylinder & one behind the other, I'm guessing exhaust to the front, inlet behind as that is the way around that the valves were. In scale form, it is enough to show them as one rod, but not as the splayed pair as most radials show. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can do modyfied a single push rods on the front case: It is important to start with this work as soon as posible.

Ozzyman69 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) One more attempt to make a Bristol radials with the front single push rods.

GrzeM Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Pryvit Andriy! I'm watching your work with great interest! If you need some advice about P.37 Los plane just ask - I have a lot of materials, photos, drawings etc. Speaking about the engines - it is quite easy to find good Pegasus/Mercury engine in plastic now, for example in new Airfix Blenheim or Swordfish - or even old Frog/NOVO Blenheim or Swordfish (I think it is not hard to find and cheap) - and copy it in resin like you do with this Ju engine. With this Junkers engine you will have a lot of work and the effect would not be very good. Novo Blenheim engine you can see here: Frog/Novo Blenheim thread All the best from Warsaw/Poland!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This is one of those occasions when Frog engines look right. The Frog Blenheim ones are really a good base for a Pegasus. I know now you want to get on with the build and make progress though, so I can see why you're trying to adapt the Junkers engines. I like your little digital weighing scales, very nice . Also many thanks for the detail photos of the gunners seat back and the cockpit window solution . I wish that I too, had a force of cheerful hardworking Lego workmen that would do tricky jobs on models whilst I slept !

Engine and things and Aeroclub did also good aftermarket ones, which were cheap, but very satisfying. Resin copies of the Airfix/Frog ones would be much easier to rework and superdetail than the BMW 132 ones of the Ju52 ( although a good base either way) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
