miamiangler Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 The past few days I have been working on the Taurus resin engine . It has a lot of detail ,but lots of tiny parts that take a lot of time to put together. Since it`s my first one it took awhile till I found tricks to put it together . I painted the engine parts in steel Most of the engine is put together I gave it a wash to give it a used look . I added micro copper wire to the spark plugs. It take time to build but should look good in the Fokker EIII. It was fun to build and I`ll do it again . Now that I know what I am doing Thanks , Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiangler Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the great comment s, I did not get much done this week . Still waiting on the HGW PE set and seat belts. I started to paint the prop and worked on the landing gear . To Ernie , I used some left over 1/48th HGW wood decals for the floor boards. Thanks , Willi Edited April 13, 2013 by miamiangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Here`s the test of the matte bare metal foil .Photo was taken under natural light . Thanks, Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks Peter , It took a lot of trial and error ,but I think I got the hang of doing the metal work . The build is stalled till I get the PE set and HGW seatbelts from RollModels . I did finish the Germania prop and IMG 08 Spandau machine gun .

miamiangler Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well I decided to do Manfred Von Richthofen`s A/C I`m still waiting on Parts to arrive in the mail so All that I have done is paint and decal the tail . I still am not sure which turn buckles I want to use . The R&B productions or the GasPatch Models ? I would like some feed back on which turn buckles look the best . Thanks , Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammut08 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Hi Will, I cannot comment on the Gaspatch turnbuckles, but I have been using those from RB Productions. They are easy to use, look good (IMHO) and are very cost effective. You can see them in action if you take a look at the Roland that I just completed as part of this group build Dave Edited April 18, 2013 by mammut08 whiskytngofxtrt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Willi, that engine and cowling look freakin' awesome! The whole thing looks great but the engine is particularly amazing. Well done Sir. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
