Pastor John Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hi everyone, yes obviously the canopy in the picture is solid resin and I hope to have clear examples in 1/48 and 1/32 for Moson but just wanted to give you an idea of the set - depicted is the 1/32 set showing Profimodeller W.Gr 21s, photo etch for the Flettner aileron tab actuators and out gear door hinges plus the outer gear bay doors. £TBC Martinnfb, Out2gtcha, Fanes and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I have heard the Eduard parts are easier to use as they also include a template and are lighter but they are hardly going to supply me so I need to include The Profimodeller product! Anyway obviously as always I tailor make orders so no problem, what I mean is if you do not want the Profimodeller parts in this set or already have the Eduard product then it is no problem - I just supply you what you need as I always try to do.

I got the Rutman resin ones (but they were too large), the Schatton ones (they had too thick tubes and were very heavy) and the Profi ones (that are very nice but far too heavy). So, finally, I got the Eduard ones for the same reason (correct dimensions and buildable). T.

Pastor John Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I need to think of how this problem can be solved - where the best features of the Profimodeller product can be utilised Edited April 6, 2019 by Pastor John D.B.

Pastor John Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think I have the perfect answer - resin shells - they will weigh next to nothing then it is only the weight of the brass tubes. So there you go the set will also include 2x resin shells. D.B. Andrus, Martinnfb and LSP_Ray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Excellent idea! Thanks as indeed the heaviest component is the rocket itself. And a thin metal tube will be far stronger than a resin one whereas the weight will stay totally acceptable. Martinnfb and Pastor John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The Eduard tubes for the WR21 rockets appear out of scale due to the thickness of the lip of tube. I have emailed them several times. The metal tubes at least appear to scale at least to me. Looks like Ike a nice set. Looking forward to seeing the clear resin.

thierry laurent Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The set is exquisite! However, if I can recommend a basic packaging improvement: please put the canopy in a different bag as mine arrived with microscratches made by the rocket launcher tubes edge as well the small etched frets. Thanks T. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor John Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi everyone, well it has been an interesting time since April when these sets became available. I only ever received half the amount of Profimodeller W.Gr 21s I paid for and never got answer to any of my emails since asking for the other half. I contacted Eduard to see if they could supply me and still no answer so I have done what I should have done from the very beginning - make my own bloody things! I love the detail of the Eduard set and the PE template for locating onto a Bf 109 was a great idea but I do think all the measurements of their tube are wrong as well as being too thick which helps casting obviously but looks wrong. Profimodeller measurements I believe are better and the brass tubing is perfect for looking thin but there is no detail and the part is heavy. So I have detailed a brass tube inside and out and filled it so only the top 8mm or so is hollow and I have a 98% casting success even with the top end being so thin. I am not doing the support arms - much better to scratch build these with wire - much stronger than the resin ones I did a test of. Photo etch will arrive at end of next week and it includes a locating plate using same idea as Eduard. Answers on a post card please!
