Title: Lohner T.I 1/33rd from Orlik
Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on August 28, 2023, 10:35:43 AM: All Done!

I added some final details like that top wing container which I'm assuming is a rather small reserve tank so I put fuel line clinging to some struts going down into the fuselage. I also added a bit of airbrush weathering since these things appear to have been well used. My fuel reserve and oil tanks were made from 2-part epoxy and shaped. Straps were from paper and the fuel tank holder was from thin cardboard. Fuel lines were thin fuse wire.

I love it and think it looks a treat. It's truly a lovely airplane and the designer of this model deserves lots of credit for attempting it in the first place and pulling off such a nice fitting kit. Any and all errors are mine!

Thanks for hanging around for the journey and all of the encouragment. Now...what's next????

Cheers,
Dan

Post by: NigelR on August 28, 2023, 06:34:22 PM: Amazing work! Like Zac said, I found it hard to believe it's not resin/plastic. I had to Google Orlik to be sure (as I hadn't been following your build thread, which is also amazing). Well done, you should be very proud of this one.

Post by: lone modeller on August 29, 2023, 06:37:40 AM: I am always impressed by your paper buids Dan - they are so realistic and look more like plastic or resin than paper.

The T1 is a beautiful aeroplane and in A-H naval colours is even more attractive. I really want to scratch build one of these in God's Own Scale so your detailed photos and log will be a great help when the day comes.

Stephen.

Post by: Dutch522 on August 30, 2023, 09:32:34 PM: Now I know why Steve Perry was so insistent I try paper modeling! Beautiful, beautiful work, Dan, on one of my favorite flying boats ever. Congrats on a job well done.

Was thinking much the same thing. It's astonishing how such a beautiful, complex model can be made out of paper!

It's lovely to see SP remembered too.
