Lesson learned though, always go with one's gut instinct. Martian 👽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Very cool and striking! 😎 Great job on a difficult build! Is the small prop on the SB side connected to a reeling mechanism for the targets? Edited January 17, 2020 by Gary Brantley question... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Mini Art Triebflugel on the go and the Heller kit of the Nina. The Triebflugel is not exactly testing my building skills, it looks like the fun will be in the painting of this one. The Nina is a horrible kit which is grinding me down at the moment, although I will defeat it. I am having a torrid time at the moment with a very sick father in Oxford which is taking most of my time at the moment, hence the lack of posts on those two subjects. I am feeling the need to chill out and step very firmly back into my comfort zone of naval aviation and have been getting the necessary etch in for the Airfix Lynx, which, should I decide to build it, will be built as a Danish Navy cab. 1 hour ago, Gary Brantley said: Very cool and striking!

Cheers Gary, you may have gathered that I am not over pleased with the way she turned out. Those that like weathered models seem to love it but I made the mistake of finishing it in the fashion that I thought other people would like rather than for myself. Were it not for the thought of all the masking for the target tug stripes, it would be getting stripped and repainted. Who knows though, maybe I will come to like it in time; it has happened before. The small prop drove the target winch. Martian 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks for that info Martian! 🍺 Yeah, "winch"...that's the word I was thinking of but just couldn't get it out, lol. Reeling mechanism...sheesh. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian 😎 Martin I was dismayed there was no mention of your beautiful work on the Tracker so I went searching for your last post and no update since April last year - I hope it is still humming away in the background?

CJP It had to go on the back burner in order to honour commitments for Telford. There is no chance of it getting binned as I need it to sit alongside my SH-34 model. I am thinking of redoing the engine mount as it keeps breaking which is in itself mojo sapping. Once I get the fuselage buttoned up, it won't be that far from paint. From the foregoing, you will appreciate that any modelling is problematical at the moment and to maximum much needed relaxation, I am going to have to work on whatever I feel the least taxing.

Martian 👽 Thanks Martian - your Tracker is one of my favourite WIPs at the moment so hence my ongoing interest - maybe engine mounts in brass as the Baron did or reinforcing yours with brass tube/rod?- I understand where you are at as my family had a traumatic medical experience in August last year and the modelling mojo has still not returned 5 months on - hopefully it will this year - all the best CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
