Space Ranger Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Beautiful! If mine turns out to look half as good as that I'll be happy. What problems, if any, did you encounter building it? Edited June 30, 2021 by Space Ranger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Very nice indeed! Is that a GenneDAME by the car?🙃 Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 For a kit that gave problems, the end result looks quite good. The overall diorama is definitely well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asymmetry, blind glass, no internals, no details, no stecils, wrong decals ... did i forget something? 100hrs for the jet alone... 6 minutes ago, Britman said: Very nice indeed!

Mig88 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Lovely job overall and nice diorama. I didn't know the type had been kitted. Well finished ! Miguel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Very nice. I can imagine that the kit was difficult, but in the end it turned out beautifully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Very nice indeed, reminds me of of the day I was weathered in at Cherbourg. A Deutsche Marine Brequet Atlantic arrived. There was a great deal of military ceremony and saluting. I was duly impressed. No idea what was going on. But it's similar to your scenario. Looks good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Superb modelling of an out-of-the-rut subject. The pilot discussing with the side window open really dots the i! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 This is really the best Hansa Jet I've seen! It's spot-on, and I can't even imagine the effort you put into it. How did you do the cabin windows? Bravo! Is that Herr Schmidt I see, seated there in the exit row up front? Looks like he's reading the latest North Atlantic Council meeting minutes. Schmidt was--in my opinion--one of postwar Germany's best strategic thinkers, and remains unsurpassed in his ability to distill complex information. He was the right Chancellor at the right time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot takes file, last window left Schmidt with Bölling a bit more inside, first right Ben Wisch nose to glass (best to see), last right Genscher 🙂 The windows were a nightmare, they didnt match in form and curvature, milky too, so the full program: all superglued, sanded 800 to 3000 and polishedpolishedpolished Cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What a little beauty. Great work with the transparencies. Unfortunately Amodel transparencies can be a bit hit and miss quality wise, often requiring intervention of some kind by the modler. But nothing is insurmountable and thank goodness for companies that give us the chance to model aircraft such as this. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Famous Eccles Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Oh my goodness! Now that takes me back! I studied swept forward wings for my dissertation back in 1988. I cited the Hansa Jet, Ju287 and the X-29 as practical examples of the wing platform. I built two wings, one swept back, the other swept forward at the same angle, and flew them in a wind tunnel. They had a NACA 0012 aero foil that I carved by hand (took me a whole term to do). I remember at least one research paper coming from NASA on microfiche (who’s heard of that these days?). It was considered very daring to actually write to NASA to get stuff, but I remember thinking ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’. The work itself is lost in time (my ex- wife got rid of it as well as the rest of my engineering work and a huge swathe of my maths degree in a fit of pique), but I remember the FSW gave 15% less drag and 10% more lift over the conventional wing, as well as a massively reduced stalling speed. This almost stall-proof property without the need for wing fences, dog-teeth, etc is what makes FSW aircraft so attractive. The tendency to flutter, twist and come off is what makes it unattractive. As I recall, the main reason for the Hansa Jet’s platform was that it put the wing box at the back of the cabin, giving a longer and clearer passenger area, rather than any aerodynamic reason. I think it and some gliders like the Blanik are the only aircraft with that planform to reach actual production, but it’s so long ago that I’m happy to be wrong. Isn’t it amazing how something can trigger such vivid memories? And where did that time go? Edited July 4, 2021 by The Famous Eccles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
