baffozac Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Many thanks to you !!!! Wings' construction : I used 1 mm strong metal rods to secure the wings. 1 mm is the inner diameter of the 2,4 mm Evergreen tube used as spars. Four screws are sufficient to fix it to the cockpit floor. The skin is made by vacuforming card using carved wood (balsa). And the fillets: plastic card and Milliput. Structure of the wings: ribs are 3D printed by my friend Bernard. To strengthen I added to the Evergreen tubes one stainless steel tube (1,5 mm) The skin is made by only one piece of 0,25 mm card wrapped around, glued step by step (1, 2,3,...) Then the trailing edge is cut (4) and a plastic strip is added (5) to have a sharp and solid edge.

baffozac Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm lucky, I got this light wave effect. In some points, I put to much plastic glue and I have to fill them. The lighty wave effect on the wings compared to the fuselage more pronounced. The wing is light but rather solid to do that. The dihedral remains flat. Don't forget, it's just a game !

baffozac Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 It remains to reproduce the wavy effet on the tips and add some détails. According to the plan, it's good enough for me.

Troy Molitor Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Beautiful work going on here. Weren’t there some Ro43 fuselages recovered in Iraq a few years back? I thought I read about one being restored by a group of specialist in Roma for the museum in Vigna di Valle RM, Italy? What a museum this is by the way. One of my favorites. Lovely efforts going on here. Thanks for sharing this wonderful build with us. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Troy, The relics found at Bagram were Ro-37 and - yes! - one of those has been restored and it is currently displayed at Vigna di Valle. The Gruppo Amici Velivoli Storici (GAVS), a private enthusiasts group, is currently restoring a Ro-41 basic trainer. The floatplane Ro-43 is also displayed in its full glory at VdV. I am nudging some resin model manufacturers to consider releasing a 1:32 model of one of those, not having Baffozac's scratchbuilding skills. Historical subjects, simple design and forms to mould, originals available for measuring, plenty of data and gorgeous painting options. Keep trying! Some photos of the restored Ro-37, Ro-43 and Ro-41 under restoration below. Enjoy!
