mammut08 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi Willi, Thanks for the tip these look great and appear easy to manufacture. One of the few shortcomings of the WNW kits is the mysterious lack of spark plugs and I don't like the idea of having to buy a set from Taurus Models every time I build up an engine. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Willi, Thanks for the tip these look great and appear easy to manufacture. One of the few shortcomings of the WNW kits is the mysterious lack of spark plugs and I don't like the idea of having to buy a set from Taurus Models every time I build up an engine. Cheers Dave Hi Dave , Yes the spark plugs are easy to make with the tubing and the VectorCut nuts you can make lots of spark plugs in an evening . I still like the Taurus Models spark plugs ,but if they are hidden then you are better off making your own . As you can see I put the cowling together and not too much of the engine can be seen . I started work on the interior of the Sopwith by adding bracing wire and adding the pulley for the elevator control . The only addition to the IP is decals and clear rod to the pulsameter (lower left ) . The decals are from the 1/48th Airscale WW1 set . I always thought they where to big for 1/48th ! Thanks , Willi Edited April 26, 2013 by miamiangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I added the cables to the floor boards ,Not too happy with the results . I used wire which probably was not the best choice. Next time I`ll use mono ! Most wont be seen with the small cockpit , Thanks ,Willi whiskytngofxtrt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looks great! Wood grain and instruments are spot on. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiangler Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks Tim , I did some work on the wood graining of the struts .I just have to add black paint to the brackets . The fuselage I ordered are a big improvement from the original . It`s 6mm longer . I added the bracing wire . Today I glued the fuselage together and glued the bottom wings to the fuselage . I still have to add the seat cushion and seat belts . Well that`s all for now!. Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Willie the strut wood graining looks perfect and as natural as it gets. The front office interior looks spot on as well Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiangler Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks Peter and Dwight Well this is not the nice WNW`s kit , but I`m doing the best I can with the Roden kit . I made the resin seat cushion and put the IP panel into the A/C today . I`m just waiting for the seat belts I ordered to arrive in the mail. Thanks for looking , Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
