campingbaer66 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hello , Encouraged by the many positive feedback to my Felixstowe build I would like to show you some pictures of another Wingnut Wings model that I have finished last year. The inspiration for this build was the brilliant under construction thread from Out2gtcha on this forum. Many thanks to him for this. As with the Felixstowe I would like also to show some pictures out of the construction phase before the final ones. Here the cockpit before the fuselage was closed. For a little additional fun I have used the resin engine from Taurus which consists of 91 parts , some so small that I needed a magnifying glass to work with them. For size comparison the valve springs. The wooden thing on the picture is the end of a standard toothpick Wingnut Wings Engine block on the left - Taurus on the right. Hope you like it so far.

campingbaer66 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Engine finished , aged and wired. With the 4 blade propeller added. With the fuselage. A little extra detail , the breather pipe and the petrol indicator glass of the wing tank. Breather pipe was replaced with a 0,5mm metal pipe and the petrol level was painted with clear yellow. Landing gear added. Next the picture of the finished plane. Peter Tnarg, sax003, D.B. Andrus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingbaer66 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Peter , Brian's thread was really something special and my DH2 is definitely only a inferior copy of his masterpiece. But I'm trying to get better. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
