baffozac 330 Posted August 5 Not here quite a while, sorry. Wing tips added, correction of the front of the cowl (too large) and beginning of the engraving of the central part of the upper wing. Grey Alclad primer is used to see where Milliput is required. 6 Gazzas, Starfighter, red baron and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baffozac 330 Posted August 23 Hello, a little tired with the wings : The floats. The largest come from Arado 196 B by Revell. It has been shortened reduced in height but widened and the bottom vacuformed. Thanks to Revell France after sale service. For the small floats, plugs in balsa. 1 mm plastic card is used. To follow............ 14 Starfighter, Alain Gadbois, scvrobeson and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baffozac 330 Posted September 26 Tests for attaching floats : The small The big. I used Contrail profiles reinforced with a stainless steel tube Since nothing is stuck, it may seem wonky........ The engine cowl support must take into account that the propeller axis is shifted up and left. 11 Iain, patricksparks, Kagemusha and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baffozac 330 Posted September 28 Thank you for your feedback. Peter, if you’re looking for a guide to make beautiful models, look at the P-51 C by airscale. 1 1 Antonio Argudo and airscale reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baffozac 330 Posted October 16 Hello gentlemen, Sme details on the masts of the central float, always renforced with inox tube Contrail profile. Rhodoid square is only there for the photo.......Six hatches are missing and will be cast in resin. At the rear of the masts the "big" pulley where the rudder cable runs. Here, two small pulleys on each side. 10 Starfighter, patricksparks, LSP_Kevin and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
