Eric Mc Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Beautiful. I like your "rolled aluminium" effect on the engine cowling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_t Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Excellent model, I somehow managed to miss the WIP thread entirely - my loss! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Simply beautiful. That engine turning is superb - I've never seen it done so well at 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Superb. A real beauty. The galvanised cowling affect is probably the best I've ever seen. As I have the Eduard kit in the stash I shall be checking out your WIP to see how you achieved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks all for your kind words. It is really a very good and fun kit to build. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Excellent. Had to scroll back up to check the scale. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Super build and the engine cowling is most realistic - and difficult to achieve! I do hope that you build a sceond one of these - perhaps in a different colour scheme. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 intricate and very delicate work there - I really don't know how you can rig in that scale - you must have eyes the size of footballs to see what you are doing I have always believed that any 1/72 WWI plane builder must posses some dark art skill when it comes down to the rigging. what a stunning model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 That is very sweet... The cowling, blade and really everything is spot on.... Oh I bet that rigging tried your patience to the limit... Did you do a bit of the rigging and come back to it a day or so later? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the landing gear struts in one day, second day I did the ruder controls and bottom wing and finished up on the third day.

Greg Law Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Really nice build. As everyone is saying I don't know how you do that rigging so small. I have the 1/48 and I'm nervous about doing that. The cowelling is so good it hurts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ Line, CA Glue and CA accelerator Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I didn't find rigging easy at all. I destroyed two nice builds at the rigging stage. I also used accelerator, but it turned the CA white and powdery. I did find that Zap-a-gap CA worked better in the end. By that time it was too late. You seem to have the technic well in hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
