kkarlsen Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) That is just too cool with the lights on. Most incredible build I've ever seen, hands down. How did you manage to keep it all balanced on the landing gear? That tall tail seems like it would weigh it down Matt Thank you Matt, your absolutely right, I've tried to put some weight into the front of the wing, but with the weight of the tail (massive resin) there is no chance to balance it. The solution was to add a 'support' just aft of the main wheels, from clear sprue. It's almost invisible, but if you look closely... Anyways, it does the trick ;-) Cheers: Kent Edited February 21, 2018 by kkarlsen Bruce_Crosby, Jan_G, scvrobeson and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Superlatives are not enough to convey my joy at this. The words “modelling master†does not come close. Thank you for sharing and congratulations. Regards, kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Kent, OH, DAMN.. the Lights... wow. Those lights are AMAZING. And the ladder antenna. I may have missed a page or two of your build thread - did you go into how you did that? I have a Cat I think I may start next and that is one area that I would really like to get right. BTW, it will be a 'Black Cat' as it were. Thanks for the inspiration! Chris kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Could you ‘slide on' one of the outer wings if you wanted to..are they even built up? I went for the short wings, because I wanted to focus on the interior of the hull. I also wanted to leave some space for my future projects ;-) Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the antenna, I had great benefit from the rigging work on the S.e.5a's. I could do a short introduction how I did the 'ladder' antenna?
