Tommy Osvald sorensen Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Lain Thanks for your answer, will be starting on mine in a week or two, so it was nice to know if the 300 g was sufficient, but we will see ;o) Do you know where can I finde drawings for the missing rivets? Tryed on the internet, but don't seem to be able to find any line drawings for the rivets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Tommy, Not found anything definitive yet - but not really at that stage yet - wan't to sort the wings first. Good luck with your build - the kit is a great canvass in my opinion - hopefully you'll share photos on the forums and we can all egg each other on!

mgunns Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If you look in the instructions it tells the modeler how much weight to add to the nse, I believe it is 30 grams which is almost a 2/3 of a lb of nose weight.

That's 10 times too much! 30g is 0.066lb. nmayhew and Paul in Napier 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgunns Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Here is the page out of the instructions, I was wrong, it calls for 300 grams of weight which is as stated above by Alain, .66 of a pound Not trying to steal a thread, but somone asked about wheels, here are the wheels for the P-38, and the obverse I think it wold make a nice looking front wheel for the Liberator, the modeler could cut a disc and cover the spokes.

Out2gtcha Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Does anyone know if Eduard/Brassin plan on any sets for the Lib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I think so. Out of my memory one specific set of wheels was recently announced. rigor and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) That main gear casting is very undersize and looks like a telescope not a continuous diameter leg. Nose gear looks ok but the main leg looks pretty poor. SAC have done a whole gear leg set to come that looks pretty good if the white metal is not soft. Hope Eduard go all out but not holding my breath..Brassin gear legs would be awesome. Great work on the B-24!

Iain Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi Darren, The brass inserts are exactly the same a the kits - and will be strong. The SAC set is a direct copy of the kit parts as well (with the plastic jackets fitted) - but, from experience, won't be strong. You takes your pick. The shapes of the kit parts are out I reckon - but you stand a better chance of fixing by using the brass set and modding the plastic jackets to suit. Iain Out2gtcha, RonGUSA, D.B.

Out2gtcha Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 For sure. If their other sets are any indication, the SAC sets will be weaker than the OOB set. Paul in Napier and Troy Molitor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 When everyone was talking about the wing, I might have missed it, but has anyone compared the old Combat Models(I think) vacform wing to the Hobby Boss wing to see if it is any better?

Iain Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Don't have the Combat kit Bruce - but I do have some of the ID kits - somewhere. I *really* doubt there's a better solution to be found there - I'm still convinced simple formers and some cutting will fix - I've just been too busy with finishing the Spitfire project to make any further headway.

mrsteve151 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Hi,great work looking forward to the result since I intend to do 2 of these kits.Even if you don't make a set having the plan to make my own would be great.Could be a laser cut set would be economical to do or how about sending the dimensions off to someone that can 3D model something in their printer.(Although maybe styrene plastic may be better to glue together instead of having to use superglue,depends on what kind of frame/former you come up with,perhaps a "frame" the two halves of the wings could be wrapped and clamped around then glued).

Iain Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi Steve, Thanks for your interest! If you go back up the thread I cover this somewhere... Plan is laser cut styrene - I just need to finish the profiles. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
