Mr T Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Very nice work on the Halberstadt. You sorted wings really well. In the past I have built a couple of vacforms with two bay wings, but I cannot remember how I got the wings together! Good look with FB5. I have the kit and so swill follow with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, although there is only a very small contact area it seems pretty firm, but it will still need very careful handling. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Varnished and ready for the gallery. This has been sitting in my stash for well over 10 years whilst I plucked up the courage to have a go, so I am rather pleased with the results!😄 Pete 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see it as a regular. Love to see the process of people taking on uncomfortable tasks. It inspires the rest of us starting out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are feeling suitably chuffed with that one. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Adrian Thanks Adrian, Some of the struts are not quite vertical but they are close enough - Pegasus got their locating holes pretty close in the end. I still think I would struggle with a vac form biplane but as I gave them away I don't have to worry about that now, unlike Ray! If and when I build my Roden Gotha with the much greater wing span I could have problems but I will see how Ray gets on with his. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
