Marcin_Matejko Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hello everyone As Wedell Wiliams 45 is slowly approaching the end of construction. So while the paint was drying, I started building a new project "Time flies". I recommend : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawks_Miller_HM-1 https://www.efootage.com/videos/60380/frank-hawks-time-flies-speed-flight?fbclid=IwAR0P7FbX9LQlV6y6gZzPweJPrMi2_boDIXvjS3KZNgzis_FSXm_JUbk4QnE https://www.gettyimages.fi/detail/video/frank-hawks-demonstrates-his-new-six-miles-per-minute-uutismateriaali/1B012258_018?fbclid=IwAR30O_4orS9FAF4lznnLYTlPGqsIRosmra7Czsk9LdUOoDrHCVQtvrS0rg4 For the project, I will use elements of other models that will be appropriate for processing and changing the shape. Such modeling scrap recycling. The hull from the old "Meteor" 1/32 is a good base for this model. Maybe because the Lindberg model is an extremely hopeless set that does not resemble "Meteor", nothing at all. The hull, however, required narrowing and improvement of the upper part. I also removed the wing nests because the HM-1 has wings lower. The wings come from the old Monogram P-61 set, after modification they fit well. I made a base for the vertical and horizontal stabilizer from scratch. Now I have to fit it together. That's it for now, the next part will probably come one day LSP_Kevin, DerekB, themongoose and 24 others 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaro Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 A new frankenstein character is coming... It looks to be a serious challenge but bearing your former achievements I'm pretty sure the final effect will be amazing (and unique as the plane was). Good luck!

Marcin_Matejko Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thank you for your kind words, I will try not to disappoint you and make a good model I built a special mounting stand out of cardboard, which will allow me to properly position the main elements of the model in relation to each other. This is an extremely important matter and it needs to be done perfectly so that the model has the right geometry and shape. scvrobeson, R Palimaka, DerekB and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin_Matejko Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Wings fitted and glued to the fuselage: The next step is cutting out the main landing gear chambers and re-separating the wings from the fuselage.

Marcin_Matejko Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 I haven't had time for this model lately, but I'm doing something there. I improved the fuselage cross-section at the height of the pilot's cockpit. The top of the fuselage was too narrow and I stuck some cloth over there. Now it's okay and I can cut out the window openings. I also adjusted the horizontal stabilizers to the fuselage, cut openings for the landing gear recesses and made the engine cover. Thus, I have all the large elements matched, I can now take it apart and start finishing the surface and then the details.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nice to see this one back! Great idea for marking out the vents, too. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
