WnW 1/32 DFW C.V (late)
« on: October 16, 2016, 07:51:40 AM »
Hi folks, I started the WnW 1.32 DFW C.V a while ago and finally have some photos to post of my progress.



The instrument panel had some nice detail engineered in the kit like the syncronizing line for the MG.

Wires were added to the radio for the antenna and power supply

Cabling for the controls was added before the cockpit area got too crowded.

Ignition wires and pushrods were added to the kit's engine


Here it sits ready to pop in the engine and it'll be on to the next phase.

Cheers,
Gary

    Spectacular start Gary, as we've seen so many times from your efforts before! Am I correct in surmising that you've used the Kit's PE Seat Belts? Great work on those, I can never get decent results with them and now just automatically order the HGW A/M sets. The Instrument panel is spectacular, looks like another "barn burner" in the making!

Thanks to all for the kind words - glad you like it!

Lance, I just modified the PE seatbelts with a bit of copper wire to make the springs a bit more lifelike. I typically like to re-do the PE seat belts with a thicker lead sheet, but the clasp detail on these ones is hard to redo. So I took the lazy route  :-[

How cool to see this one built, there cannot be enough DFW's!!
Great start with the interior, I especially like your engine and the way you improoved the springs on the seat belts. That's a technique I'll copy when it comes to seat belts for me again.
Best regards

Superb work all round Gary - I look forward to your further progress.

All you guys building are making me very envious - I simply can't get a space to settle down to one at this point - I'm afflicted by the dreaded 'domestic duties' call  :(

Keep on with that great work - Tug

Spectacular result with the interior Gary, the colours are excellent and look very realistic. The engine turned out extremely well and the springs on the seat belts is a technique I will be following on my next build.

+1 on the springs for your seatbelts, looks much better than the original flat surface.

A truly outstanding beginning! Everything looks fantastic from the wood to the belts! Awesome work on the instruments and dontrol wires!

I could spend quite a bit of time going over every little detail so far. Beautiful!

Superb interior - that wood work is so realistic - how do you chaps do it? As for the lazy route with the seat belts - they look excellent to me especially the springs.

Progress has been slow on this one - but here is a small update on the fuselage work. Trying for a really tired, weathered look to the model.
