Jasta 14 addict Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 W.W.1 subjects keep's getting me. After my visit to the Brussels Army museum, i saw some very nice W.W.1 subjects which triggered some feelings in me. This one was a real time favorite for sure : Ok, it's a Farman instead of a Fe.2b but the twin boomed design made some impressions to me. So i decided to start the WNW Fe.2b "Early" Aftermarket i'm gonna use are some HGW goodie's. And some ground work And this color scheme i will be using Of course, a few years ago i made some wood color test's, and i will be using these to for this build.

Jasta 14 addict Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Question for the specialists As i am gonna build Fe.2b 'Baroda 15' the instructions mentioned for the pilot's locker that the fuel lines needs to be removed. I assume the reason for this is the lack of the 18 gallon petrol tank where the pilot sit's on?? But, when i look to the photo's of The Vintage Aviator Fe.2b which also has the pilot's locker, the fuel lines are still in place?? Pilot's locker And the fuel lines I'm a little bit confused about this. Can anybody tell me why, or why their is a difference between these two cockpit configurations??

DeanKB Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I assume TVA are keeping their options open & can install the tank as and when required in place of the locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point Dean, i didn't think about that. At a certain point, i wanna keep those fuel lines, because this is nice detail. But, is it correct to keep them when i use the pilot's locker version??

You could argue that it was convertible, to carry the additional fuel-tank on longer bombing missions as necessary. But the weight was kept lower for shorter range operations by not carrying the heavy metal tank & it's fuel contents. It's good enough for TVA!

Indeed, that is a good point you mentioned there Dean, thank's for the feedback I think i will keep them, it gives much detail inside the cockpit.

Oh yes, and the funny thing is, you find me...... Like i always said it, once you try a WNW kit your hooked my friend, there's no turning back. I'm really glad i bought this Duelist kit, especially regarding the LVG, finally i got one, and the same for you. like i said before, regarding the Camel i need some very good reason to start it, because the Camel isn't really of any interest to me, but again, i got one so who's say's i can't get interested within some time Ok, now it's time for me to seek you........i count to 100......ready start...........1...2...3...4..............
