Superb job as usual Jörgen.
The low angle walk around shows what a brutal and purposeful looking car it is.
The in car video was interesting, you can clearly see that the driving style has to be adapted to suit the power delivery due to the CVT like throttle response!

Oh - I just realised this is the maritime forum.
Also +1 for Airfix to re release the SRN-1.

Oh boy, am I so looking forward to this!
Thanks Jörgen, the kit parts look great. (Edit - Although I have now read through your comments!)
Helpful comment (not) No1 in a series..............
Because the engine and trans are so unique, I would be tempted to copy and display them alongside the completed car.

Took out a 20 year endowment mortgage in 1991.
Oh, wait.......... you mean modelling?
Dropping wet painted parts seems to be a recurring theme.

Hi Al,
These panels you are creating look fantastic!
There was a guy on a German model forum a few years ago who was making an Me163 panel using pretty much the same techniques.
What do you mean when you say 'I used a .4mm novel' ? Does this refer to the font size?

Great to see another of yours being built.
If you make the plan on your computer screen the correct size, then trace over it on tracing or thin white paper - I have done this a few times rather than print stuff out!
Then offer up the cut out plastic part back to the screen to correct any errors that may have crept in.

Hi Mike,
This is a bit of an off the wall suggestion, but cheap bath side panels are high impact styrene sheet, the one I have is 1.5mm thick and is great for my modelling.
The cheap ones can be found in UK DIY stores (E.G. Homebase/B&Q etc) and are around £25/£30 for a 1.7m x 0.5m panel.
You may get lucky and get a damaged one at a rock bottom price!
You can find flat panels but most have a slight curve or swage for stiffness, but you may be able to work round this?

IMHO the Pegram book is one of the best Schneider books around.
New research.
New 3 view drawings of all aircraft correcting previous mistakes
All Schneider aircraft included, even ones not raced.
Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent, looks really good, hope you are pleased with the result.
I think this is the best looking version of the Mew Gull.

The last post (which I seem to have missed until now!) sounds totaly plausible to me.
Any updates?

Looks great!
Matra V12 racing engines of the same period mostly had yellow HT leads.

That looks 100% better.
Any chance you could post a close up pic of the 200 an 120 mesh together?
Could you post a link to the mesh on Amazon?
Cheers,

LDM 1:48 CHILTON DW1 scratching some missing bits
in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Posted
After a bit of googling I did not realise 'AFGI had such a variety of engines through its life and at one point had a fancy bubble canopy!
TBH not sold on the Ivory, but should look a lot less 'bare' with the registration applied.
The DW1 image burnt in to my brain is of G-AFSV on the front cover of a 60's Aircraft Illustrated magazine in red white and black but thats the wrong engine for your version.
Im sure which ever colour scheme you choose it will look great on the shelf!
