Jeannin Stahltaube WnW + Steven Robson`s Spokes 1/32

I started with painting the fuselage CDL bits. I`ve sprayed them with XF-57 mixed with brown and white, in order to make them less uniform.
I`ve also tried something new - I wanted to give the texture to the painted CDL, so using the crayons I`ve simulated the fabric weave.

I carried on with the cockpit. I`ve finished the instrument panel along with the firewall. I`ve replaced the starting magneto with the resin one by Taurus Models. The seats have been painted as well. Finally, before I could proceed with the assembly, I`ve prepared the rudder pedals, the main petrol tank and the control column.

The fuselage halves are closed. I`ve also painted the airframe. The wings and the tailplane were a challenge. I wanted to make them to appear transluscent as in the reference pictures. It took a lot of kabuki tape and some patience. But I think it was worth the effort. Many thanks to Krzysztof Tengli for the masks for the markings - they were absolutely great!
Time for weathering and undercarriage.

That looks superb.

 

I love taubes but they’re a bit scary to model. I should still have a book detailing all the taubes somewhere in the attic, must try and dig it out, there were literally hundreds ( well maybe not that many) including passenger models with enclosed cabins and even biplane versions afair

Since the last update I`ve attached the engine bay rigging using the Gaspatch 1/48 scale turnbuckles and EZ line. When it comes to the landing gear I`ve used the fishing line instead of the EZ line - it gives so much to the structural rigidity of the undercarriage. Finally, I could use the absolutely magnificent Steven Robson`s spoked wheels. They are like little jewels, I can only hope my model is worth them. And finally, the radiators have been installed.

Jaw dropping stuff there. Inspiring and deflating all at the same time :D  Inspiring as I want to run off and do a WWW model but knowing the mountains to climb to get anywhere near being on the same planet as such a fantastic build. 
Thanks for showing though and one day, one day :D
