Derek B Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Derek Can you not start on the wings - I thought it was the fuselage that were the revised part of Arthur's drawings..? Shame not to see this one proceed... Matt Hi Matt, I'd really love to, but you know me, it there is a chance that I might make something incorrect, I won't start it! The Me 163A wings are a different shape and area to those of the Me 163B (similar sweep, the they have kinked leading edges, producing an almost inperceptable double sweep angle, have a different span and area, aerofoil shape and tip wash out). The Me 163B wings were structually very different from those of the Me 163A, as the former were designed to full military strength requirements for combat, whereas the 163A wings were always built more lightly in the best practice of gliders - and were designed for training and development, not combat. I shall try and think of somthing else, and see if I can make it before the end of the year dead line - ideas welcomed? Many thanks Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 OK, how about creating the masters for your Me 109G-12. This would be quite simple and allow you to actually do a G-12 for the GB..? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt I never considered that Matt? Is it allowed in this GB? If the mods give it a nod, then I will consider it?

You just have to start a new thread. Perhaps I should pull out my old Revell kit and join you... Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Thanks Kev - I think that I now have my new subject (I will start a new WIP thread for the master pattern build as part of this GB).

mattlow Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Great. Need any refs? I've got a couple of nice photos of the inner structure of the G-12 canopy somewhere. Have I sent those to you? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt I think that you may have? - I have some colour pictures of rust colured internal canopy tubular framing...Does that sound like them?

AndersN Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Looking forward to the G-12. For which 109G? Hasegawa or Trumpeter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Anders, It will be for the Hasegawa G-6 kit (I have never seen the Trumpeter kit, but I suspect that it will be close enough to fit well).
