Enjoying the two live Taube builds in the forum I’ve always loved the Taube so I’ve decided to put my money where my mouth is song make a Taube of my own. Kits are hard to come by and expensive so nothing else for it a scratch build. The wings are a little different but most of the structures in the plane are fairly straight forward. However it will require s level of model engineering to get it to work and no guarantees that this will make the finish line any day soon or at all The basic wing plan scaled to 1/48 Mirrored and copied and attached to .5mm sheet. Reverse side after ruling with a ballpoint. Top panels cut out and brass rod attached for the two spars. .5mm plastic rod glued to the leading edge. Next I’ll lay in the ribs and attach the lower panels, going well so far.

I started with painting the fuselage CDL bits. I`ve sprayed them with XF-57 mixed with brown and white, in order to make them less uniform. I`ve also tried something new - I wanted to give the texture to the painted CDL, so using the crayons I`ve simulated the fabric weave.

I love my 1/144 ww1 and early aviation but have been getting frustrated trying to get the poor choice of kits available to work well. I managed it with the Fokker eiii but the Sopwith Pup has been an absolute pig and it's gone back on the shelf, not something I normally do. I just feel like I'm putting in most of the time correcting errors instead of enjoying building due to poor kit accuracy. I'm fairly confident with my modelling skills and have scratch built before, but never an aviation subject. So I'll jump in at the deep end with a 1/144 Rumpler built Etrich Taube. One of my favourite aircraft. I have been especially encouraged by recent examples of early aviation models posted here.
