RidgeRunner Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Nice work Rob. Certainly it beats my efforts. I'll post a picture when I can get back to my PC. I haven't yet got the wings on. Regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hej again Jens! looking at the images, and I realise that I reality what was used, the paint doesn't come out looking like FS34079... For modelling I reckon closer to olive drab or US SEA medium Green? If either of those is lightened I reckon it would be a good match? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Murph, I don't know how far back the green colour went. Perhaps all the way. I have checked all my pictures but the one on my site is the best of them, the rest showing just a black hole. Martin, please note that the very brown colour in my pictures is from an airframe that has been stored outside for 20 years or more, i.e. the colour is not realistic for an operational airframe.

Your photos, plus the DanMil drawing, inspired me to build RWR antenna pods today. From the drawing I measured that the wingtip RWR antennas were 1.2-1.3 mm diameter and 28.5 mm long, of which 21.5 mm was cilindrical, with two 3.5 mm conical ends. I made the former from 1.3 mm Albion tubing, and the latter from 1.3 mm plastic rod, turned in my motor tool against sandpaper. However the conical ends proved to be prone to breaking, many failed during the sanding. Since the model would be handled a lot during assembly and painting, and these antennas were at the wing tips, I needed something stronger. The best alternative I could think of was a toothpick soaked in superglue. That material worked equally well during the turning, and felt a lot stronger. I attached one to a shortened wing tip, using a spacer at the front for yaw alignment. Milliput or Apoxie is next. Thanks again for the inspiration!

RidgeRunner Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hi Jens et al, Do you (or anyone of this thread) know why the Danish paint at that time faded as it did? I ask because it looks like it faded overall but the mechanics then over painted seams, panels, etc with fresh paint as a sealer? Is that correct or did the paint used simply fade in the centre of panels and gradually it crept out to the edges, leaving a darker line along most (if not all) panels? Knowing this will help my anticipated painting epic!! Thanks all, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The green paint faded because is was flat (we can still see that today on our flat green/flat black vehicles). The darker areas were either touch-ups or simply finger grease from handling (I have tried rubbing my fingers on some of the faded areas of the vehicles, and the colours change into a fresher version).

RidgeRunner Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ah, thanks for that, Jens! hoping the weather is okay up there as I am in CPH next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 You're welcome Martin. The weather forecast for next week doesn't look too good; clouds and rain showers most days. Anyway, perhaps that would be a good excuse to visit Tøjhusmuseet in Copenhagen (http://en.natmus.dk/museums/the-royal-danish-arsenal-museum/) and Teknisk Museum in Helsingør north of Copenhagen (http://tekniskmuseum.dk/english/). If you were going to Jutland it would most likely be possible to find one of the few remaining Huns. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Sadly I won't have time. It is a work trip and only one day. The museums will have to be for next visit. I've been around Jutland, visited Karup and Aalborg, plus Stauning. Oddly I didn't see a Super Sabre anywhere! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Let me know next time you're in Jutland, Martin. I might be able to find a Super Sabre for you. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
