Courageous Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Lovely little subject, with little 'ears'. One doesn't appreciate its small size until you see your WiP with it on your finger. Great photography too. The usual Moa standard. Stuart Edited May 3, 2019 by Courageous 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Another Moa masterpiece! A delightful, tiny model of another interesting aerodynamic idea. Never seen that type of control surface, though it appears to have been reasonably successful. Lovely stuff Moa and inspirational but my clumsy hands and ageing eyesight would preclude me attempting such in that scale!

John Aero Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Superb job as usual Moa. It's actually a favourite of mine and I once did a three view drawing based solely on photos and known dimensions of, such as engine parts and wheels. Later I found a drawing in a 1929 copy of Flight and I was surprised how close I'd got to the shape. I never liked the look of the Pearson ailerons.

Martian Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Looks great but I think I have rumbled you. I don't think these are models at all. I think you are sucking in these planes in through a cunningly created hole in the space-time continuum, shrinking them to your preferred scale and then posting them on BM. Come clean, its a fair cop isn't it? Martian 👽 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Another miniature masterpiece Moa. I cannot help but marvel at your scratch building skills, together with the rate at which you can turn out these small gems. Your fan club is very active here in deepest Dorset!

Of course, and the local pub is quite close. A mere nine steps through our rear garden gate, and you reach the rear gate of the pub garden. Cool beers are plentiful!
