doozer1974 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh, I like that a lot. I've got a Kettenkraftrad with a Tamiya Pfeil kit that's on my to do list - I'd love to get mine to such a high standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairystick Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) What an absolutely beautiful job you have done! A superb finish. Your 'pit is difficult to tell from the real aircraft! A silly question to those in the know... What is the item behind the starboard main wheel? It hangs down and has a bend in the end. Some sort of pitot perhaps? My research has drawn a blank.

It's a Morane antenna. A 1/4 wavelength antenna is best mounted perpendicular and below the airframe (to minimise interference ).Excellent work on this Shwalbe and the Kettenkraftrad, very nicely done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Hairystick, it looks like I'm mistaken. Parabat said its a Morane antenna and I think he could be right.

Excellent work on this Shwalbe and the Kettenkraftrad, very nicely done! Thank you Parabat! It has had me scratching my head for a while now (& there wasn't much up there to scratch anyway!) since I made the Hasegawa version of this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
