Hubert Boillot Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 NIce work Jan Steve, have you a simple way to show us the issues with the shape of the fuselage ? I am interested to learn on this one. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I'll try Hubert. From Silver Wings site. Starboard rear 3/4 view. My 1:1 Stearman. Port rear 3/4 view. Differences: Top of fuselage too straight. In cross section top of fuselage is too round. The real IP is almost pointy at the top! Fuselage too skinny. Hope this helps.

Jan_G Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Sure it helps Steve thanks a lot but as you mentioned Its quite hard to fix it and I dont have such skills to do that properly and have to say that im little bit jealous regarding your Stearman. Really beautiful plane you have. maybe you can post some detailed photos of your plane here in the forum to help me and other guys who will work on it later this is one of my dreams - to finish PLA and get one yellow Stearman...so need to work more, which means less time for modelling have a nice day jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi Jan, Thanks for the kind words. It would be possible to do some walkaround picks (there are a few on the net already for Stearman), and some detailed ones as well, but not for a week or so when I next get to the airfield. I have some and might be able to post a link to them all (don't know how at the moment) on Photobucket. In the mean time is there anything specific you need info on, remembering that mine has a different engine to the model? Steve Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradleygolding Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 That sounds like a plan Kev. I will collect what I have got and probably take some more as well, so two batches. Steve LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 small update main parts ready for another coat of surfacer, added just some small details gear legs were small challenge because geometry, to strength them I drilled hole and put inside injection needle. here you can see neverending story of sanding and filling small holes with CA or epoxy glue and overall picture thanks for looking jan MikeC, Shaka HI, Uilleann and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Interesting observation on the model compared to the real one, Steve. I have a couple or three hours in Stearmans but nothing earth shattering, and honestly, my stupid grins were probably pushing up my jowls enough to restrict my eyesight.... I remember the panel being oddly shaped, but it never registered with me on the model. duhh. I agree with you on the Stearman though, you can't find something with two wings that gives you so many grins and fun times for so little money, although that's quickly changing around here as people figure out they're just as much fun as a T-6 with 1/3 the fuel and half the maintenance cost.

Bradleygolding Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Looking good Jan. I should get down to the airfield tomorrow and will take some walk around picks. Steve Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
