Bozzaroo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi guys, Finally manage to finish this one - took me a couple of years off and on but it's done! If nothing else - Elvis the Peacock seems interested Cheers Bengt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozzaroo Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 BTW anyone building this with MDC (or what ever it's called) conversion - don't pick it up by the body, as the float is really heavy and can (as it did) come lose - that's why the rudder is missing and I'm still looking for that - has to be in the room somewhere, if the cat didn't eat it?!?! Some build pics And to anyone building a rufe with the MDC thingy - build the body first before even start on the lower wing, I didn't and the float support part is out by a degree which means that the engine and all the mounts are the same - so I had to break off the little flap (infront of the float mount) and then readjust it over the engine low air intake - so make sure you have everything lined up!

Sparzanza Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ahhh so THAT'S what a "Rufe" is! A Zero on top of a canoe! I like what you've done with it, looks nice and worn. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Superb job! We've gone from seeing no Rufes on the boards to two built within the span of a few months. That makes me a happy boy - thanks for posting. At least the rudder will be easy to make if you can't find the resin part Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nice! Looks really great. Im taking your tip of inserting a screw for the wing floats..I have already previous began planning some strengthining measure for the main float as well on mine. Congrats on a FINE looking model!Cheers Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozzaroo Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks guys - if I can't find the rudder I'll make a new one, but not until I have gone through the whole floor Once I cleaned up the mess it's on to the P-40 to complete my marsden mat dio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Talk about a double take! Your weathering of the wheeled carriage is so good that at first I thought it was the real thing. I had to look twice at it. Superb work. Stephen Bozzaroo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 nicely done. I noticed that your underwing insert is too short leaving gaps at either end; mine is the same way and I thought I had made an error by cutting too much off the wings but now I see I did not. I'm getting inspired to continue with my A6M2-N and get-r-dun. Bozzaroo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
