Finished: 1/48 Voisin 10 Ca2 (modified Hi-Tech kit)
« on: June 06, 2015, 04:39:27 PM »
Hello,

I want to  make this Voisin since long time ... in fact since I saw the magnificent Voisin from "Cage à poules" here:



http://fighters.forumactif.com/t34885-voisin-10-lar-hi-tech-au-48eme?highlight=voisin

http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19848

I searched a long time on the internet, but they are not a lot of information regarding the "Voisin X lar"

So I decided to make a Voisin 10 Ca2 armed with a gun. Now I no longer need to look for photos, they are there:

http://memorial.flight.free.fr/Voisin10uk.html

As  the manual said, the Hi-Tech kit is not ACCUTAMYGAWA ...

The cockpit must be done:

I deleted the floor to have a flat on and  to have well flat walls.









Hi-Tech has had the good idea to provide "opening" of the cockpit for a version other than that of the box (the bottom part of the picture).

Amounts are cut into sections "evergreen" 0.25 X 0.75 and glued to the stems T

The edge of the cabin and floor profiles are 0.5 X 0.5. and 1x1.

Everything is painted in aluminum and will be skated. I started but I did not used to work the aluminum. I grope ...



The seat is  photoetched part but does not suit me.  It is redesigned to resemble that seen in "memorial flight", not forgetting the big cushion. it will add the belts.




The dashboard will host the big compass. It will be placed in the hole in "half circle" on the shelf  made for the occasion.




The steering wheel is redone from the kit by rounding the corners with a round file (in red). It's a bit long to do ...














The two blocks down the handle are those of the kit, the top of the handle toothed wheel is made from a "trap" photoeched of the board of DV eduard (I have no punch to make records so small ..).



It lacks the chain and cables.


... that's all.

Regards

Thank you.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the wooden thing full of holes?







Do the holes allow storing ammunition for the gun ? Much like storage for wine bottles?

Cool project. I saw this on display in Paris last autumn.

I think the holes are simply to lighten the structure  - it would be quite awkward using them for ammunition storage i would think... But I'm not sure! Is the same structure present in the non-cannon armed X?

...or maybe that this is a magazine after all. Staring at the photos leaves me wondering other purpose it could possibly have.

Here is a link to the photos I took of it at Le Bourget in October. Maybe something useful, I don't know.

Really great start! I remember looking at this kit and deciding it was more than I could handle at the time! Your improvements are awesome!

This will be a treat. I recall your models from the old Aerodrome forum and they were always wonders to behold.

Wouldn't that be a reinforced former when the cannon was fired from the sides of the fuselage ? It does side on the track ...

Thank you,


Hello,

Maybe it is a reinforcement to stiffen the structure.

Or protection for hiding cables through the cabin (read on a forum)

The rudder and the handle close to the seat:





3 switches on the dashboard, turned on a lathe with one plastic rod (diameter 1mm)  and a selector (?) on the left side.



The dual throttle. The circular arc is a piece of lead wire crushed with a ruler on a glass plate.



The handles are made of plastic.



Both sides of the cab are glued and must be abraded copiously...

Brilliant work on the details! The throttles are particularly impressive!

You are moving along quite nicely with this build, the added detail you have incorporated is amazing expecially the throttle quadrant and levers.
