Orso Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Perhaps this can be of use cutting your own tape strips (if 3,2 or 3,6 mm is OK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC_DDhjy0tY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orso Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have bought two different of the AK-boards but not used them yet. Now I decided to make a test. I had some 18 mm wide Tamiya tape and that could make five 3,6 mm wide strips. It took me about 1,30 minutes to cut the five strips and cut them in half giving me ten strips in 95 mm length that would be enough to go around the wing of the O/400 I think. That 1½ minute included the mistake of forgetting to get the hobby knife so I lost around 15 seconds getting it from the kitchen. I have used the "Moa version" of making rib tapes when I had to repair some missing on a kit, but since then forgot about the technic so I am glad to have been reminded of it as I started on a kit bash and need to add the ribs.

Lots of unrelated content and perhaps a bit too much of book advertisement.

Good grief! Is that one of those that are still adrift from WWI? -Oh the humanity! It looks much uglier than any blimp I have ever seen! -What are you doing with a smartphone, old champ? it's 1920, they don't exist yet. -Blimey! it's because that despicable baby blimp can not talk coherently, so he tweets, I am trying to understand what is he saying, but it makes no sense. -Holy kerfuffle! what do you expect, that thing it's full of gas! -I can't stand the sight.

Was the bathroom really tiled? AW Perú, beautiful country, lucky you. Ceviche! Chaufa! Saltados! Cuis! (and food for the spirit too). Some planes had tiled restrooms, no idea if the O/7 had, found no photo of the intimate facilities, so it's all guessing work. Somewhere in my files there is a photo (photos now amount to several dozen of thousands) of an aero show (may be the Paris Salon, or similar) where you can see companies that offered to fit the airliners' bathrooms, all tiled. If they included candelabra and glass vases and porcelain, why not tiles. Their were competing with trains and boats. Weight, no object! 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
