dov Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hallo WNW Information on this kit This is my second WW1 bomber in 1/32. The AEG was my first. Considering all my 1/32 builds from WNW I did, so this one caused me some more headache as I was used. The building process showed me, that there are some issues where I think the designer of the kit was absent. The cooling pipes running from the engine to the cooler at the front strut are wrong in transverse distance. You must cut them, otherwise the strut would crack. The other thing is many important details are not shown at all in the instructions. Instead of this the guns are shown multiple times. The pivot point of the rudder is such an item. On the other hand the outer struts. They have cables running vertically twice, in the front and rear. What for? There is no explanation in the instruction. For lighting or Bowden cables. If the latter, then for assembly or disassembly the wing. If you decide to make such a model, be sure that you are firm with all rigging techniques required. I did it, as you can find on my threats. Already posted couple of times. Well, the next time will be a modelling break for one month. Since I will be engaged with my digital model railway in H0, where most locomotives are upgraded with sound. Some programing is needed and some mapping of functions too.

BleedingBlue Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Fantastic work. Are the props actual wood? If not they surely look the part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Great work, I was going to comment on the propellors as well, they look incredible, very realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Propellers are made with Mr. Gunze RLM 79 and oil. Oil color put on a carton, wait a minute, and than use a brush and not diluted prepared as described oil color and brush. Like dry dot. After one day you continue with a clear varnish.

Wings unlevel Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 That’s a remarkable model. It looks like it could be part of a museum diorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
