Danish Navy HM1
« on: July 25, 2020, 01:55:16 AM »
Hi:

The HM1 is the licensed Danish built Hansa Brandenburg W.29. I started this about a month ago. I had started a WNW W.29 kit a few years ago and boxed it up, because of squirrels (in my old age I am easily distracted, now). Here is the started cockpit (it is a little dusty, noticed when I was uploading the pictures). I painted the wings and tried my hand at making the Danish roundels and I detailed the engine. The exhaust was made by Kent Karlsen. I had to modify the pilot's coaming as there were no machine guns carried on the Danish plane. Thank you for looking

Thank you. It’s good to be back. I finally found my mojo again and the love of WWI aviation.

This is beautiful! The engine is stunning and I love how you've highlighted the wing structure.

Happens to me as well . Right now my mojo is running high on WW 1 builds while my mojo for WW 2 subjects has faded .

Thank you so much. Me neither, apparently, I have been easily distracted by squirrels.

I started getting my mojo back when I built an 1/48 AMT Tigercat in RN markings during the Suez Crisis earlier this year. I have built more models since March than I have since 2014. Glad tp hear you're building.

Hi:

I finished the cockpit; unfortunately, I was so caught up in the build i completely forgot to take any pictures before I sealed up the fuselage. So, here are a few shots of the fuselage and what you can see of the interior. Thank you

Hi:

I finally figured out the stencil thing for the numbers. I made the stencils for the underside wing numbers, the fuselage numbers, and the Denmark Navy pennant. I sprayed the numbers and the masks worked flawlessly and I didn't stretch my luck so I stopped before the pennants. I am really starting to like this build. Thank you, Carl
