Will Vale Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Bit late to the party as I found this through your signature (see, they do important work!) but this is such a cool build. Clean and tidy and weird. You could leave it black and say it's the Red Skull's escape vehicle from the Captain America movie Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Step Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Hi everybody, I am new to the forum and picked up on this thread as I was unsure about the "extra" parts for the RAM jets. Thanks for confirming that they are indeed not needed😉 Maybe it's a bit late for the paint scheme discussion. But I admit that I don't like any of them. 1. reason: the Balkenkreuze on the rotors make no sense at all. As soon as this thing is airborne they are going to rotate so fast you don't see them anymore (same goes for the camouflage) ... 2. reason: the camouflage schemes included are for "regular" plane, not one that is vertically parked (so to speak). Brown/green Commo on the wings and the back of the plane works if you look from above. When the Triebflügel stands on the ground the paint scheme should run around the whole body to hide it (I would think)? In the end, I decided for my version to orient it a bit on the early post war jets of the 50s: no cammo, alu/silver body... After all. it is Luft 46, isn't it 😜 Looking forward to interesting discussions here 2Step Edited July 27, 2019 by 2Step typo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Ok, I admit, I've been a bit remiss with this one. In fact I haven't had chance to do any modelling since my last post on this thread. I wasn't happy with the join between the canopy and the fuselage, especially around the windscreen. I also saw another modeller's finished kit with the windscreen unadjusted, and that convinced me I needed to do something about it. Here's what it looked like before I set about it: I masked up the canopy with Tamiya tape, and then attacked it with layers of CA applied using the tip of an old #11 blade, using accelerator to speed things up. I also cut a curved mask for the front section of the screen as there's a big chunk of contact surface visible otherwise and the screen just fades away with a small frame at the very front. After the curved mask had been added, I flooded the area with CA and filed it back flat whilst working on the other frames to streamline them. This is the first pic after a squirt of primer to see whether I need to do any more to it, and I'm quite pleased so far. There's a bit of work to do, but the windscreen now blends into the fuselage at the panel line where the nose cone starts. A little bit more titivation and more testing should see it ready. Once this is finished I'm running out of excuses not to paint it 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about doing one of the kit schemes just for expediency's sake. I peeled back the masking on the windscreen earlier to see if my new curved frame idea had worked, and happily it had.

Whofan Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I saw 3 of these Triebflugel models at the Avon show. They look great when completed, and well worth the work that's being put in here. Looking forward to the finished article! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear cockpit could have been the radar operator or summit. They could also have put the rear blades on backwards to counter the torque.

As to counter acting torque, I am given to understand that this is not an issue when the energy is applied at the rotor tips.
