Marklo Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Some more touching up, the last few spots of filler and the white backgrounds for the crosses added. I’ve done these with white decal film because I didn’t leave enough of a gap between the crosses, oh well. I’ll trim the white from the crosses before applying them.

Marklo Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Crosses on, windscreen ready to fit. A little more touch up needed. Maddeningly I’ve managed to mislay one of the crosses so may end up having to print a replacement, ho hum. Things to do today:- 1. Fit and paint the windscreen 2. fit and plumb the radiators 3. fit the engines and props 4. final filling/touching up 5. fit the controls lines ( yes for some reason I hate doing this) If I manage to get all they done then it’s just a final tidy up and it’s finished. Then on to the Alcock, which is ready for final paint and decals. Edited July 7, 2021 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Windscreen fitted using kristal klear hence the white line at the bottom which will dry clear. la list :- 1. Fit and paint the windscreen 2. fit and plumb the radiators 3. fit the engines and props 4. final filling/touching up. I think I’ll remark the black and repaint the grey edge otherwise wise I’ll spend a week doing a dab of black then a dab of grey and it still won’t be right. Although I may just resort to some black decal film, hmm. 5. fit the controls lines ( yes for some reason I hate doing this) 6. Mustn’t forget the two strips on the lower hull. Which I have been doing. 2 and 4 are in progress. Edited July 7, 2021 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Radiators plumbed. Errant cross pattee found and applied. Which just leaves:- 1. final touchups 2. last few rigging lines and control wires 3. the strakes on the front hull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Control wires in, just need trimming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 The strakes go on. The control lines are finished. The props go on. Which leaves, I think one rigging line and a bit more cleanup. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Plans and photographs can be found here: http://seawarpeace.ru/deutsch/seaplane/01_main/oertz_w6.html There are also plans in the book. All of the plans that I have found are based on the reference above and they have to be scaled. Some reproductions are better than others!

From a modelling point of view it’s a treasure trove https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=12336.0 Also take a look at Stephen’s marvellous 1/72 build, which I’m flattered to say was inspired by this build. I actually bought the book for the Sablatning particularly the triplane which I plan to build in the future.
