Bernard aircrafts again and again ( 1/72 scratchbuild)...

The 74 first. With all pieces achieved, I finally made silicon moulds. It takes a long time to prepare the pieces, cut the boxes for moulds...etc, but the quality of resin copies depends of this.

Extracting the pieces has been quite easy. Nothing broken. I can store the master pieces preciously. Now I'll work on resin copies.

This week end I'll make the first resin copy.

And now, a seaplane. The Bernard HV41. Same wing as the Bernard 72, almost same rear fuselage. Engine and cockpit different.

And floats!

Let's go. I take a copy of the Bernard 72. Comparaison of the fuselage with plan:

-Vertical stabilizer higher

-cockpit retreated of 4 millimeters and lower

-different windshield

-the whole engine cowling to create.

Let's go. scalpel, file and sandpaper on the work bench, and let's make dust.

For the engine cowling, I try a new method with a cutting plotter "silhouette portrait". with the plans of the plane I draw surfaces in 3d to have the skeleton of the shape.

I cut in 0.25mm plastic sheet, assemble it, and fill with putty.

The shape is approximative. I'll have to search the correct shape according photos...

And for the floats... same thing. Computer, Silhouette, assembly, putty, and sanding. And I finally made a mould with silicon ins the same time than the 74 to have two similar copies...

And that's all for today. If for the Bernard 74 I'm getting close from having a colored model in my shelves; for the HV41, it remains a looong path...

Thanks Homebee,

I have made contact with Adrien and have purchased some of his kits. Looking forward to more and the arrival (whenever the current shipping allows!) of some resin.

Building the Bernard 74 (resin 1/72, master scratchbuilt by myself).

After month to scratchbuild, moulding silicon, resin; I can finally build a model of this plane.

First a box, to have the impression of a industrial kit.

20 pieces. Cutting the sprues is easy. It took me an evening to clean the pieces while watching a movie.

Cockpit: A little scratch to complete the layout; and painting. light grey for the sides, floor and seat. metal for the dashboard.

Assembly of the fuselage. take care to align perfectly the vertical stablilizer.

Few putty. A little behind the cockpit and in the base of the stabilizer. More under the fuselage

Wings: easy to place and align. It needs more putty. Mainly under the fuselage because of many sprues remains.

And that's all for today. The next big step will be the vacformed windshield. allways delicate to cut and adjust perfectly...
