Greif8 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 The MG's look outstanding Mike! Great attention to detail. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Also don't forget to go over to Mike's website after he has finished. He posts up very detailed PDF's of his builds that show the how's/why's/ and what's of the build. Paul in Napier and NigTT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Hi all, An update on the Hannover build. The fuselage has been closed up. Fuselage, wings and tailplanes have had their panels and fittings etc painted. Pilots Spandau machine gun fitted as well as the nose cowl and some of the engine access panels (others will be left off). Still some work to be done before weathering then preparing and applying the decals.

sandbagger Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hi all, A representation of the carburettor control fitted. As there's no reference for the Argus As.III engine, I've based it on similar engines of the period, Mike Greif8, Kagemusha, AlbertD and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hi all, Assembly has moved forwards and the 'Aviattic' Linen Weave effect decals applied where required. The relevant kit decals have been applied also. Added the carburettor fuel supply pipe. Now it's onto applying the weather and pre-rigging before final assembly, Mike LSP_Kevin, Troy Molitor, AlbertD and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaro Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I like her!. Very convincing painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Honestly.... I feel the weave effect is rather too pronounced, though that could just be me... Does not detract in any way from your usual standard, and also a thanks for those PDFs you have on your site!

monthebiff Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Very nice indeed Mike, makes me wish I hadn't sold mine now but never mind. The blue background really makes the Aviattic weave stand out on this one. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
