Title: Hansa Brandenburg W19 1/72nd Scratchbuild
Post by: malaula on June 12, 2022, 11:02:48 PM: Hi Guys ! Here's the HB W19 I needed for my Seeflugstation Borkum dio..as far as I know this kite is not available as a kit,so I had to scratch it.
I altered a Toko W29 fuselage and floats. As both wings are the same in outline except for the cutout in the upper wing I build one from plastic sheet and replicated it in resin.
most complicated part of the build were the Float struts,made of squashed brass tube.

(But then I am a sucker for a seaplane)

Is the rigging monofilament?

Post by: lone modeller on June 13, 2022, 03:51:48 AM: I do like a scratch build - and I really do like this one. A new type to me, but as it is a floatplane it is even more interesting. I might have to add one of these to my "to do" list.

Post by: malaula on June 16, 2022, 06:20:17 AM: Thank you so much guys!I feel like Scratchbuilding is much more satisfying than glueing together prefab kits..
no matter if perfect or not,the product is always unique ! For most of my other builds I had used my home made naval lozenge decals,this time the Aviattic offering.
Top notch ,but a tad to dark in appearence for that scale I think.
Cheers !

Do you have any more progress photographs (apologies if I missed a build log somewhere)?

Cheers,

BC

Post by: macsporran on June 25, 2022, 07:58:42 PM: Lovely work and a very satisfying creation.

I know what you mean about scratching something. I used to do a lot of scratchbuilds, vacfoms and conversions, but now tend to shake WNW and CSM kits out of the box. While still great fun, you don't get that thrill of having created something from nothing. And of course, with a scratchbuild there is no limit on what you can aim for.

Splendid model. Congrats.
