Lloyd FJ. 40.05 1/48
« on: February 20, 2016, 01:07:23 AM »
Hello,
I will be posting progress pics of a scratch build project by my friend - Jacek Bassara . I will test the parts he will produce since the intention is to make this bird available in limited number as a resin model kit. Probably many of you would like to have it in their collection and the Legato kit is almost a holy grail of 1/48 builders  ;).
Should anyone have plans in better quality than the ones I`ve found online please let me know! I hope you will be of assistance when it comes to some issues during the build!
Inbox:
Best regards
Filip

Filip, if Jacek produces it, I definitely want one!  I'll be following his progress eagerly.
Cheers,
Bud

We`ll be doing everything we can to make the model available. There will be some issues with the PE and decals - we don`t know if can find someone, who will produce them at relatively low cost so, that the kit would cost around 30-40$. We shall see since we both don`t have experience in producing models... Jacek is selling his first kit - it`s a resin model of a Polish glider in 1/72nd scale.

Do you have any information on the MAG Daimler 160 hp engine? Really ANY piece of information would be a great help...
Best regards
Filip

Jacek said that before the production can even start he needs a fully equipped workshop. So the table comes first:


And the workers could complete the rudder construction:


The frame has been covered with linen (aluminium from the lager can - the usual medium Jacek uses).

Hi,
I found some additional info in my archives - it is from Osterreiches Flugzeuge, by Reinhard Keimel:


 I want also to advise you to use the 3-View from The Austro Hungarian Aircraft of World War One book (the Haddow's one), but i ask others here to confirm.
You will find it in my folder

As for the Engine, I think that Edgar here  at CSM  has a very good Austro Daimler 160Hp, so if you make the model without engine to contain costs, the modelers willing one can add a CSM or some other resin engine.
And you can also speedup production :)

By the way, if the rudder is intended as the Lloyd 40.05 one, it is clearly wrong :-)
It had a one piece rudder, as you can  see from the photo

Thanks for your commitment Pustota and Ermeio! The Information you have provided is very useful!
Jacek has mistaken the rudder spar with stabiliser/rudder division. He is working on another rudder - correct this time.
 Pustota, you have posted the pics of the Austro Daimler 160 ps engine - am I not mistaken to think that MAG Daimler - was the same engine just produced in the Hungarian Division of the company?
Egar I think your engines will be absolutely gorgeus!
I`ll post some of his work later - like I mentioned before, he uses an unusual medium to build his models - lager can aluminium to , which are mostly extremely rare subjects from the Polish Air Force history like this Ilya Muromets bomber used by the Poles:

Hope to post some progress pics soon!
Best regards
Filip

After the initial problems with the Lloyd factory workers - wrong rudder. They succeded in finishing it - this time properly ;)


What do you think this time?

Cheers!
Do you know what the ailerons and stabilisers were covered with? I would say linen but the horizontal  stabilisers look pretty dark in the pictures. What do you think?

In my opinion linen.
