The WNW instructions give the colour of the gun jacks as Battleship Grey for this aircraft. But generally speaking, you are right ;-) Cheers, Markus CZPetrP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayar Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 The aircraft is not yet in the RFI section, because I decided to make alittle vignette. I ordered a grass mat from Polak models Elan13 pilot and mechanic figure: Cheers, Markus Trak-Tor, Fvdm, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Great looking Camel Markus. How did you get the "bullet" fitting so nicely placed in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi! Thanks for the reminder. here is how I did it: 1. Drill holes (0.5mm) through the bullet. 2. Thread the rigging material through the bullet as shown. It should slide easily through the holes of the bullet. 3. Drill holes through the cabane struts at the joint of the top wing. Glue the rigging at the lower end of the struts. 4. Thread the rigging through the holes in the cabane strut. Pull it tight, until the bullet sits in the (vertical) center. Don't pull it so tight that you can't pull it any further. Just so that the rigging is taut. Glue the rigging at the cabane struts. 5. Push the bullet upward into the final position. Put tiny drops of superglue where the rigging exits the bullet. This works with elastic rigging. With fishing line or similar unelastic material you have to choose another approach.

Gene Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 New to me is your technique of applying the bracing wires without the top wing in place - BRILLIANT and ingenious - makes everything so much more accessible!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
