Martinnfb Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) The wisdom of today...... more like this are available at Mission Springs Brewing Company Pub, they have also great Tartar sauce , but do not eat too much as I did, it may not be such a straightforward story like the one about possum Edited June 2, 2016 by Martinnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I dont think the tires mounted on the S.199 of the Kbely museum are the tires that were actually used in the late 40's/early 50's. They rather look slick : dodgem37 and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rather look slick : Thank You for a good point. Yes indeed, at the beginning there were original german / smooth style tires used, than new post war cs production rubber came in. Please look closely at the pictures below , the thread is faided but still visible. Just for the record: the Avia CS-199 from Kbely is bang on original, unlike the S-199 that was pieced up from part found at the wrecking yard and donations.

Martinnfb Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 hello, my name is Martin...... and here is quick slap-job of AML conversion set. I stopped working on my conversion in order to see what is the new AML set going to be like and I have to admit it is a big bang for your money. ....and it looks like Avia too.

Martinnfb Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thank you Harvey , thank you Shawn, Today I placed in the radiator and it's housing . There was a decent size bubble in it, no drama. I sanded the edges a bit according photographs . So by now you know that the AML conversion is going to be a Israeli machine. The lower bulges went on without a major struggle. The whole thing was coated with synthetic industrial primer out of the rattle can , only to see more bubbles and details that are so hard to be noticed on light resin. Baracuda supercharger intake had to go, it was too big in diameter. I used Amuur river one as a replacement, naturally it had to be modified . The original German intake was angled , Avia was bolted at the right angle. The surface need a lots of work, all the detail is essentially G6-ish, the Czech machines were quite different. I will get back to it later. Thank you for stopping by guys. Cheers Martin here you can see the prop in better detail, I used the primer as a filler of the leading edge, theoretically the seam shouldn't be visible Here is the corrected position of the intake, the oil cooler creeps me out a little, we shall see what is it going to be like at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
