Title: Scratchbuilt 1/32 Aviatik Berg C.I (Lo)
Post by: guitarlute101 on February 13, 2019, 02:37:36 AM: Hello everyone,

Knowing Des' love of scratch building, I decided to do a scratch built Aviatik C.I. No pictures yet other than some plain sheets of styrene, I think I will do this one (a picture from the Internet)....

I'll be using the "Austro-Hungarian Aircraft of World War One" book as a guide.

More to come,
Mark

I had time to go to the local copier and scan the drawings up to 1/32. This will be fun.

I thought I'd have something to post today but the balsa I have on hand is not the correct length so I just ordered some. I believe I have the basic interior and lower wing attachment figured out so I'll update as soon as I have something tangible to show.

Thanks all,

Mark

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for looking in. I ordered the wrong balsa (1x2x12 instead of 2x2x12) so I've got it reordered. My plan is to create a balsa shape that I will glue the outer styrene around. I'll post pictures as I go along.

Looking forward to seeing your wings. But in the mean time I've a question for you. Will you be modeling a closed cowl or exposed engine open one? If you choose the exposed route where do you find a suitable AD engine. Always very interested in AH aircraft,still hoping someone will market a kit in 1/32 scale. I may well need to go your route and scratch one too.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Hello Gregory,

I think I'll be doing an open cowling with a Copper State 1/32 AD engine, I just put it on order with Edgar. Looking forward to getting started but I'm still kicking myself over ordering the wrong size balsa to make the fuselage. I'll be using it mostly to create the forms to vacuform the engine cowling area.

Thanks!
Mark

Post by: lone modeller on March 14, 2019, 05:10:58 AM: Looking forward to seeing how your kit shapes up. Carving wood is a real pleasure but I am not sure that I would find adding a plastic skin quite so enjoyable! I am sure that you are going to demonstrate exactly how to do it and as I need to learn how, I shall be following closely.

Stephen.
