Title: Gotha G.V Az Models 1/48
Post by: xmald on April 12, 2014, 05:02:12 AM
I`m planning to build:
Gotha G. V 670.16 Kagohl Belgium   February - March 1918 - the plane of the commander Walter Aschoff.
My references:
Windsock Datafile Special "Gotha!"
German Bombers  WWI in action - Squadron Signal

(http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s520/xmald/inbox3_zps55f7f049.jpg)

I have a question: I would like to paint the bird according to Ray Rimmel`s profile from Gotha! do know anything about the lozenge used on this bird? Were both upper and lower surfaces covered with the same loz or just like the fighters lighter/darker. Should any of you have any information or hypothesis please let me know!

Nice choice, Filip!  I've got the Hippo version in my stash, so I'm really looking forward to following your work on this one.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Filip,

My understanding is the lozenge colors were thought to be the same on top and underneath for german night bombers.

I agree but I`m going to build the daytime bomber from one of the first production batches, I`ve followed the thread about the daytime bombers on Aerodrome by DSA but still no fully satisfactory answers...

Nice choice, Filip!  I've got the Hippo version in my stash, so I'm really looking forward to following your work on this one.
Cheers,
Bud
Before I bought mine I was hunting to get the Hippo version - pricey it was... but fortunately for me AZ reboxed it for the half of the original price  ;D I have even bought Aurora Gotha but as soon as I got my hands on this one I sold it...

Yes,

a nice choice for the next build. I really would like to finish one myself - but shelf space is too restricted, unfortunately.

I think the kit is not only missing some bombs, but the lower bomb racks as well?

Yes - the bomb racks are something you are supposed to DIY - fortunately I have some bombs from Mirage Bomb set.

I`ve also got the painting scheme figured out thanks to Ray Rimmel. Hope to post some pics soon...

I'll be watching and looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. I plan to convert mine to a G.IV.
I was thinking about that too cause I like G.IV more - the nacelles have got nicer shape and there are plenty of interesting schemes...
Not much but this is what I`ve managed to do:

I`ve scratched the main tank (number 2) and replaced the two tanks, which were inacurate from what I`ve read...
Number 3 is a bulkhead on the basis of what I`ve seen in WnW`s G.IV instructions. I`m planning to build shelves for the Spandau drums between the fuel tank and the gunner`s bulkhead. I also have to change the Gotha tunnel a little bit...

Ron
Hmm on the basis of pictures in Windsock Special I cannot determine whether it was closed or open. Picture 72 - in the above mentioned Gotha! shows the open passageway.  Ron do you have any pics to support it - any help will be much apriciated!
I have other doubts - were there windows in the floor of the nose section?? pic 79 shows something rectangular under the nose section
Another one is the fuel tank - from what I`ve read in the report on the downed G.V there were two tanks...
...Confusion will be my epitaph ...
Title: Re: Gotha G.V Az Models 1/48
Post by: DaveM on April 24, 2014, 01:46:08 AM
Hi Filip,
nice start on the Gotha.
The fuselage passageway was covered over on the G.V as the 2 fuel tanks filled the space between the pilot and rear gunners positions.The fuel tanks were positioned in tandem,but alas,there is no photographic or illustrative evidence of their shape,except for a rather indistinct GA drawing/plan that is available to view on the Russian 'Flying Machines' site that just faintly shows their postion in the fuselage.If you can get hold of them,Scale Models from Feb/Mar/April 1976 had an excellent coverage on the Gotha bombers by the late great Harry Woodman,with some good photos of the tunnel covered over.Some of these photo's are on line,just Google 'Gotha bomber',but ignore the Wikipedia fuselage layout!

Dave.
Title: Re: Gotha G.V Az Models 1/48
Post by: xmald on April 24, 2014, 03:59:45 AM
Dave thanks for your feedback!!!
I`ve browsed through both Gotha! and this website you`ve mentioned and I must admit I`m really confused. I`ve seen some pics of G.Vs with the passageway evidently covered and there are some with an open one. When it comes to the planes with open gangways the fuel tank seems to be located the way I`ve done it.  I think I will therefore leave it as it is unless someone has some strong evidence against my interpretation. ;)
I`m trying to figure out if Goerz bombsight was installed on G.Vs and what did underside of the nose section looked like?
Title: Re: Gotha G.V Az Models 1/48

Title: Re: Gotha G.V Az Models 1/48
Post by: xmald on May 14, 2014, 10:31:12 PM
Not a very spectacular update, but this is a small step for a modeller but a giant leap for Gotha  ;) ;)

(http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s520/xmald/Gotha%20G%20V/gotha5_zpsba034ce8.jpg)
4 - bulkhead
5 - Parabellum magazines locker. Ammo belts are: sprue + Tamiya tape
6 - Internal bracing wires with turnbuckles.
7 - gunner`s folded seat.

I WOULD BE MORE THAN GRATEFUL FOR ANY INFO CONCERNING BOMBSIGHT USED ON  GOTHAS G.V - I know that in G.IV they used Goerz bombsight, but there is no fairing under the nose of G. V where prism/s was/were covered. Instead there is something that looks like a window or a cover of some sort. But I have not seen any floor window in the commander`s cockpit pics. Also the description of the downed G.V does not mention anything about that. ANY IDEAS??
I have also noted that 670/16 has the similar rectangular thingy, that ERIKA has (picture 55 in Windsock), which is described as either a bombsight mount or a drift sight.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HYPOTHESIS ?

Looking great so far! As i'm working on a Gotha GVa, I'm keeping a close eye on your project. I'm also wondering for the fuel tanks, but as they won't be visible too much, I think that any artistic epresentation is as clse to the truth as any other - one or two, rectangular or cilindryc or any other shape. What really matter is the lozenge and I would love to see yours!
Best regards,
Sasho

It`s been a while...
I`ve scratch built some details:
8 - engine controls
9 -  rudder pedals -
10 - pilot`s seat - the one from the kit`s shape was entirely wrong...
11 - A signal pistol -
12 -  fuel hand pump
13 - engine shutters control
14 - bomb release handles
The seatbelts are Eduard`s etched parts. In the last picture there is one of three oxygen supplies I`ve made.

Thanks for all kind comments!!!
It`s a beastie for my standards - comperable to B17 in 1/72nd.
In the meantime I decaled wings with great - Aviattic - lozenge HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The wings also need rib tapes - which will be in CDL.
To paint to fuselage I used Gotha blue from Misterkit - a really good paint  I wish they were easier to get!

15 - I`ve reshaped the steering wheel
16 - I`ve added  ammo drums and their locker - scratch
17 - I`ve fixed the oxygen tanks

Another update:
The rib tapes are home made decals - a CDL oversprayed over the clear decal sheet. I need over 180 rib tapes, so a lot of cutting lies ahead... ;) They are CDL as Ray Rimell suggested.
(http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s520/xmald/Gotha%20G%20V/GothaGVLozenge2_zpsdb6d1d0d.jpg)

I have also started to work on  Mercedes VIa  engines - cylinders needed separating they were cast as one element.  The inlet manifolds are wrapped to simulate the asbestos tapes

Many thanks for encouragement!!!
I must admit that despite the rather low quality of the AZ models product I have a lot of fun building it. This is what it looks like now: Karaya`s Parabellum MGs. I decided to use the later version 14/17 for the commander`s post. I`ve scratchbuillt the swivel mount. I figured out that the easiest way to replicate the holes in the swivel mount is to drill some in the aluminium foil and glue it to a plastic rod.

Hi Filip,

I wonder if you finished the rigging yet, or am I missing something? This is such a wonderful build! Merry Christmas.

Kind regards
Patrick
