Marcin_Matejko Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hello everyone I recently started a new modeling project, a Brown B-2 race plane: I make the model from scratch using traditional polystyrene processing methods. Based on these drawings: I carved some elements from fragments of other models that I managed to fit. For example, I made wings from the upper wings of a Fiat CR.42 by Smer, in a scale of 1/50. In my plastic scrap I found an unused front from an alternative version of the 1/32 Williams Bross Firecracker, which I managed to fit to the Brown. I cut out various fragments from four halves of hulls from the Black Widow P-61, probably made by Monogram in 1/48 scale and glued them together slightly differently to create a base for the hull. I made a propeller cap from a 1/72 scale Corsair fuel tank. A wheel of unknown origin found in plastic scrap was used for the chassis. The rest was made of polystyrene plates of various thicknesses. Yes, this project can easily be considered modeling recycling. To connect all the elements of the model together, I made a special mounting base from cardboard. It allowed for the mutual adjustment of the position of individual elements relative to each other and maintaining the appropriate geometry of the whole. Then I cut off the engine cover to create a characteristic ventilation gap between the hull and the cover. I made the chassis legs from plastic reinforced with steel wire. I decided to open the top of the fuselage to show the internal structure in the model I would also like to show the engine because it looks interesting Since no company offers a miniature of this engine, I decided to make it myself. But to make it easier, I drew it as a 3D model. I also started modifying the engine cover. And I also started doing the inside of the fuselage To be continued TankBuster, Sasha As, Madmax and 29 others 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekB Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) This looks fantastic Marcin! Your custom jig is an excellent piece of work, that will ensure alignment 100%! And your clever "up-cylcing" (not just "re-cycling") of parts from other models is very creative! I'm really enjoying watching another of your racing creations come together!

Marcin_Matejko Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Thank you very much I'm still working on the interior details: I made a fuel tank and a pilot seat: Pre-assembled for fitting: And as a way to relax, I started working on the base for the model: To be continued Sasha As, Shoggz, geedubelyer and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
