WNW Tripe


Recommended Posts

Kevin,

thank you for the encouraging words - these WNW kits lend themselves to a nice looking build at every stage.

Ron,

A cut away fuselage is a great idea - I will have to think about it for a future build.

Hi All,

 

It has been a while since my last post. This stems largely for the struggles I have had getting the fuselage together - the WNW Tripe seems to have been engineered like a puzzle box. Regardless, it is now together and I have begun painting. Finish is exclusively Tamiya. Here are a few photos (the stabilizer is just sitting on the fuselage, so it is a bit askew).

Next up: a coat of future and then a series of oil filters and washes to tone down the contrast between the wing fabric and rib tape, as well as impart a brownish hue to the PC10 finish.

 

Everyone keep up the good work,

 

Dave

Hi All,

 

As always, I appreciate the compliments, they do keep me moving forward.

 

I am in the field for the next month of so (archaeology professor teaching a field class), so there will be few updates until August - although I hope to work a bit on the tripe this evening.

 

Gregory, the wood grain was achieved using one of the RB Productions wood grain stencils. I love mine!

 

Everyone keep up the good work.

Hi All,

 

it's looking more and more like summer fun time is over for me, so back to building. Here are a few update photos - wheels, rudder and an airframe overview. I still need to address the engine and prop, otherwise I am currently joining subassemblies.

To the rest of you - get back to (and keep up the good) work!

 

Cheers,

 

Dave

Hi All,

 

I have finished my Tripe. It was a bit of an ordeal, but it avoided the self of doom. Here are some photos.
