Title: Morane-Saulnier type N 1/32 Special Hobby
Post by: Dwest on March 02, 2017, 02:31:42 PM: I haven't built a model since I was a kid some 40 years ago so we will see how this goes. I've started the Morane-Saulnier over the weekend and am having lots of fun. I am sure this first model is going to be very rough when finished but it will be a start to learning the ropes. Thanks for the great site, keep up the good work.

The Data File, #58, is out of print/stock. EBay or a request here in the Buy/Sell/Swap/Trade Postings is probably your best bet. Also Des has negotiated a discount deal with the Owner at Drill Bits Unlimited for Forum Members. Great little product!
Cheers,
Lance

Post by: lone modeller on March 03, 2017, 09:06:37 AM: I am afraid that I cannot help with your requests for help, but I can comment that I know a good model in the making when I see one! No rough work there according to my eyes, and in my experience cameras do not tell too many lies either!!

Post by: Mike Norris (UK) on March 08, 2017, 08:02:40 PM: Hi Dwayne,
Looking with interest at your build - I did mine a while back and used a length of 1 mm Brass rod as a main spar to support the two wings, as the kit attachment I felt wasn't strong enough to support their weight.
The drills 'Des' mentions are good, but I think are designed more for drilling PC boards etc. Unlike standard HSS drills, I found they tend to 'bite' to much and effectively corkscrew their way into the plastic. Consequently they bind up/jam easily and snap. You'll need to keep backing out the drill and make sure the plastic swarf is regularly cleared from the drill.
I have the Windsock Data file #58, which covers the Types N, I and V. If you want to, PM me on the forum and I'll email you a PDF copy,

Mike

Below are photos of my Morane N which I made several years ago. It was my first experiment with pre-shading. I sprayed the plane with a mix of buff, yellow and other similar colours which I can't remember, then I used Jammy Dog tape, 1mm and 1.5mm wide to mark out the ribs and spars of the frame. Then I gave it a gentle spray of smoke. It is a real revelation when you remove the tape to see the subtle depiction of the wooden frame showing through the translucent doped fabric.
