Title: Rumpler C.IV - Polish (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
Post by: PrzemoL on March 09, 2018, 02:45:21 AM
The release of Rumplers by WNW did not cause my interest at the beginning. Then I found information that a few of these machines were used in Poland post-war but did not make a career - were deemed to be difficult to fly and were quite soon removed from service. This made my interest even smaller.
But then, last year, when WNW held the warehouse cleaning after water damage the issue of Polish Rumpler returned. And on that ocassion, attracted by the significantly reduced price, I decided to buy a copy of the late version kit - to fit the aircraft photographed in May 1919 at Cracow Rakowice airfield

(https://image.ibb.co/k5xPcn/rump_00.jpg)

This is probably the only photographed Polish C.IV. It attracted my attention due to its natural material colours - I supppose it will make for a fine looking unusual model.

I have started working on it just after I have completed Dolphin.

At the moment the innards are basically ready for buttoning up the fuselage. I have added the control cables to be run through the entire fuselage to the openings at the tail as well as the fuel selector switches on the instrument board. There is also a control lever set in the observer cabin, where the linkage is missing - if I find the photos I may still add this, too.

A fantastic made interior, even if incomplete yet, and control cables running through entire hull - it is already a Przemol’s trademark. In addition, an interesting topic and additionally regarding aircraft which the model is rather not so often seen on this forum.
I am waiting for a continuation patiently,

The work on Rumpler goes on. The engine was finally mounted painted and amended with a few missing pipes and electric cables. It is still to be weathered and I will mount it after the fuselage is painted.

Did you find any pics showing how to lead linkage to control lever in rear cabin - just above an empty bomb rack?

Title: Re: Rumpler C.IV - Polish (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
Post by: PrzemoL on April 05, 2018, 07:16:57 AM
Thank you, gentlemen.

Buzby, yes, I have found one photo in WD where the front cockpit is shown and there is a linkage running along the starboard wall at the height fitting the level of the lever in the rear cockpit. So I assumed this was that missing linkage from the rear cockpit. Duly added to the model.

And some more progress.
Hinged Gaspatch turnbuckles prepared - 6 small ones for the control surfaces at the tail and 22 large ones for the interplane and undercarriage rigging.

(https://image.ibb.co/dVQrKx/rump_59.jpg)


And a small proof, that WNW's, rightly called the best model kits in the world, are not perfect in all aspects. Here I found three places calling for significant filling, levelling unpleasant steps and sanding - underside of the top wing joint between the centre piece and outer wing panels as well as two spots under the fuselage.
I am showing this not to complain but to indicate, that contrary to some opinions I heard recently that these kits are shake-and-bake, they are not so. And they surely leave some space for amendments, corrections, etc. In many cases the photos on the instruction booklets show that the kit parts are missing some detail.

I went in a checked your engine work with the valve train , looks ok , I can see where it is a bit of a problem lining up the springs. If you look at page 3 of The Gotha you will see some effort to help with this ,  for future reference...

The top wing jumped on without fuss. Rigging started with stagger lines, which have the turnbuckles not just at the bottom ends but a bit higher to avoid colission with the struts - it required some more tying.

And the last bits involve the exhaust stack, which still needs to be rusted and smoked and the engine covers. Even though I do not plan to attach them, they need to be prepared to be put separately on the base of the  model for the modelling contests presentation. This requires some substantial thinning of their thickness and one of them, where originally Spandau pops out needed to be blinded as per the photo of the original plane in Polish service which was not armed.
