Title: Hannover CL.II
Post by: Gisbod on April 23, 2016, 05:26:01 PM

Hello all,

Calling this done now. It's been a super kit, falls together and very detailed too. Thoroughly recommended.

I even got the engine running  ;D

Thanks to all who followed along. It'll be featured in a future 'Scale Aviation Modeller'.

Guy

Very nicely done Sir Gisbod.

Your colour scheme is excellent

Nice touch with the running engine.

I assume taxi tests are complete?

Looking forward to the first flight test results  ;)

Bravo!   :)

Lovely result

Unusually finished

Really very individual

Excellent workmanship

A stunning rendition of the type, unusual and quite different from most we see.

What a beauty! Very well done!
One last question: What kind of castor oil are you using for your engine? I've got that problem, that normal castor oil is too thick for my 1/144 scale rotary engines (they just puke black smoke) although my 1/288 scale V-8 engine runs quite smooth.  ::)
Best wishes

Extremely well done Guy, the build, the painting and the rigging are all superb, a truly exceptional looking Hannover, the running propeller is the perfect finishing touch.

Bravo Guy!  The Hannover is a real gem, my friend.  Your paint and
rigging are top notch and the overall look of the model is such a treat
for the eyes.  A real showpiece and a very enjoyable build log!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I think the tappets need adjusting? Seriously that is one fantastic Hanover Bravo!

Beautifully done, Guy, very impressive - but a running engine and no pilot or chocks....tut tut!  ;)

That's to hide the gluey fingerprints??.....................................I would describe that as a perfect weathering  ;D
I love this built, really outstanding, Bravo Guy!!
Unusual paint perfectly done in my eyes.
And also I love this small and fine details such the stone on tailstand.

I too like the weight on the tailskid and details which take this from an ordinary model to a mini-masterpiece. Many congratulations on an excellent model.

Guy

Cannot think of anything different to say other than what has already been said.

I'll simply say excellent!

Thank you very much,

The forum really does add so much more enjoyment and learning to the hobby. I wouldn't be anywhere like as enthusiastic without you guys.

I've been asked to build something for the magazine non WW1 - A Tamiya 1/32 and an Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk. XVI. So I may have to have a mini break from WNWs  ??? But will definitely be back on the case with the Camel  ;D
