miamiangler Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Looking good Willi. Working on the same stuff right now. Isn't painting the cord that secures the fabric behind the seat to the framework fun. Fiddly stuff for sure. Also waiting for the rocker arm, valve springs, and manifold lock nuts from Taurus after seeing how nice they looked on your engine. Thanks for the inspiration Willi! Cheers, Wolf Hi Wolf, Yes that part took some doing and redoing .I cut tiny tape strips and took about two hours of work ,but it was well worth it !. Mr.Lukasz is a master craftsman with his resin parts .Well worth the wait .I`m hoping he will make a BMW engine so I can do a Fokker D VII F Thanks , Willi Edited January 24, 2013 by LSP_Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks Kevin for fixing the post above .I tried a few times but gave up when nothing I did worked . I only got to do a few things on the pit . Everything is painted so it is waiting to be put together . I did notice that some parts had a small space and would not fit tight together . After some drilling the holes and light sanding I had a much better fit of the parts. I added the pipe to the hand pump which most likely wont be seen ,but it`s there anyway. I also added some of the lines to the throttle and spark advance lever. I use the 1/48th turnbuckles to the rigging which seemed to match the size of the ones in the photo on page 7 in the booklet . I added the belt to the bullets on the ammo box using a small strip of paper that was painted Today I will start putting together some of the pit .I still have to do the rigging for the foot peddles and control stick . I hope to have most of the pit finished by this weekend . That`s all for now .Thank for all the comments . Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Your doing a wonderful job Willi, Careful building the pit that you have everything in the right place. The instructions are a little ambiguous in some areas. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiangler Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks guy`s for your comments .Very much appreciated . I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me , but Decal #26 does not match the picture on Page #27 . What do you think ? I did e-mail Wingnutwings about this .

Uncarina Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I see what you mean. It looks to me like the ventral black and yellow pattern was reversed. Does #26 line up with the adjacent sides? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
