jeroenpeters Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Right in the middle of building the Silver Wings Fokker D.21 kit I reviewed recently. The fit is great. The instructions can be challenging. Instrument panel with Ammo Crystal Clear: Rudder controls, stick and floor boards: Some fitting: The Bristol Mercury engine: More pics here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3688-silver-wings-132-fokker-d21/ Cheers, Jeroen Edited May 16, 2015 by jeroenpeters florin13, Zero77, Alburymodeler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroenpeters Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Cheers guys! Ok. Meeting some resistance. The engine is slightly too big in diameter for the cowling. So I sanded away the connection rim inside the cowling and sanded the entire cowling way thinner all around. And now it fits! What you see here are 5 parts: And added the second wing too: So far it's a pretty smooth ride! Cheers, Jeroen Iain, tomv87 and Rick K 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroenpeters Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Ok, some good news and some set back. First of all I managed to screw up the shaft. Or shaft the shaft in proper english. I got some paint on it (the unwanted kind) and dipped it in aceton. This caused the parts to become... rubber! Mailed Silver Wings and a new one is already on the way! But this weekend i did manage to mask and fit the canopy and add the wheels: But then I noticed an error I made. So be wary of following my lead. The instructions tell you to make the upper cockpit framing all with tubing. 6 tubes going up and one small horizontal one connecting them. Like so: However, the only tubes you need to make are the two 90 degree vertical ones behind the seat and the two 30 degree ones going back down, making an inverted V. The other tubes are integral part of the canopy clear part! So I removed them (while the canopy was glued) and fixed it. Pretty happy with my handiwork: Iain, tomv87, Verbeek and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Lovely work Jeroen! I discovered that acetone and resin don't mix well myself on my Fisher Ryan build. Let's hope I can remember it long enough... Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Great work on this kit, Jeroen ! Your mishap is a reminder that acetone is a solvent for PU (recommended to clean up the cans of expansive PU foam) Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
