fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yet another pioneer machine, one of the many Otto Lilienthal's designs, a kit I made some time ago and also related to the post of the scratchbuilt Cayley's Flying Carriage. The DR Design kit from Brazil presents its challenges, and requires patience and skill, but can be turned into a decent model: 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaton01 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sweet, C. DR Design? Not a mainline kit maker I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi J A not well known Brazilian kit manufacturer that seems to specialize in 1/72 photoetched releases complemented with resin parts that leave much to be desired, but the subjects are appealing. I built a group of those for a friend, some time ago. I don't think you can get them anywhere. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Having just seen your stunning collection of beautifully crafted historic aeroplanes that you have so kindly posted, I must admit to being in total awe of your modelling skills. What a collection of museum pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Wonderful, just wonderful – the 'classic' Lilienthal hang glider. It's worth noting that Lilienthal wasn't just a trial and error adventurer, but a very methodical engineer, using i. a. a wind tunnel to test various wing profiles. I wouldn't mind a kit in a larger scale, though. 😉 Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I am working my way through your models and each time I am excited by the subject material and amazed by your skill in making first class models. Many congratulations for such interesting and out-of-the-way models - just what I really like. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
