stevehnz Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Build & be proud Jon,when I saw the V2 display in the science museum on my last visit to the Uk, I was fascinated in spite of its unsavoury purpose, likewise the V1 launch ramp at Duxford. Sometimes I think we have to separate our knowledge of the dire purpose these weapons were conceived for to acknowledge the advances in technology they represented, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Change of subjects always welcome. Thank you for the kind words. Progress yesterday was virtually nil, but I did get a primer coat of dunkelgelb on everything. I also found an Italeri Huey (and a Revell one to donate doors!)

Sturmovik Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Did you find enough space to add weight? Will it be in flight if not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 On dear. No weight added. [Whistles] there may be trouble ahead... Was planning to do this wheels down, but Anilization awaits it that doesn't work. Thought I would finish it as one of the ones the Brits captured, hence the aftermarket set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled by Jon Gwinnett, on Flickr Untitled by Jon Gwinnett, on Flickr great news on the not whirly wing thingy, mine are on hold for till the next reincarnation...I built one of these ages ago,; drilled a big'ole in the top of the nose, shoved in liquid gravity + superglue, then milliput sanded smooth over the 'ole. Also needed some fishing weight immediately behind the pit but I see you've done glued the wing on..., mind you Anilzed would be way more fun, look Ma' I'm a verb now!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 So current, unscientific, balance it on a round thing in line with the main wheels suggested that all may not yet be lost, wheels down may yet work. I can always glue it to a base! (I think I'll give this one as a gift to the person who lent me the Eric Brown book...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06/24 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Apologies for lack of progress. Busy at work (flying to Warsaw tonight for the week) and a general loss of mojo I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
