Hi Sasho, I have not really been away from the forum over the years - often sitting in the back corner as a silent reader.   ;D

Here are a few pictures of the oil contamination adjustment and aging - so the wings and fuselage look about the same.

The weathering/ ageing are truly awesome Bertl!

Elevator and rudder are movable on the model.
The movements are transferred to the movable control stick and the movable rudder bar via control cables (thin fishing line) - or vice versa would be correct.
Of course, it was very important to me when building the model, despite the movable odds and ends, to stay as close as possible to the original.

As with the original, here at the upper bearing point of the rudder the screw connection.
A small resin screw was prepared for this.
The shaft of the screw was removed, the screw itself was drilled in the middle (OK, almost in the middle) and provided with a long copper wire.
This wire was then inserted into the rudder hinge (brass tube) from the top.
It was not glued, the screw head and the copper wire hold through the black paint on the model.

Now things got tricky.
At some point during the build, the idea grew to try to make the rudders moveable.
I wasn't sure if this would really be feasible down to the last detail.
Well, here in the following pictures the last section to the movable rudder.
By movable I mean that the rudder movement is actually transmitted to the rudder pedal via the control cables.
The model had to be fixed for this, rudder and rudder bar fixed in neutral position, the control cables both had to be tensioned equally far and then nothing could go wrong.
Glued with a tiny drop of super glue.

Fix the Bird  ;D



And yessss, it works.

Rudderbar and Rudder position neutral.

I had to cheat a little here, a real turnbuckle with wire would be too inflexible at this point, so a brass tube and a drop of wood glue pretend the turnbuckle.







I will go the same way with the elevator, it worked for the rudder, so I hope for the same success with the elevator. We will see ... .

A short detour to the windshield.
On this model, the windshield is made of a clear casting plastic.
The thing is way too massive in terms of scale - more like a armored glass window from a WWII fighter or bomber etc.
The windshield was sanded much thinner, polished, painted, oil splattered and glued to the model.
I used superglue gel for this - two tiny drops only.
The first painting of the windshield frame was done with Mr. Metalcolor "Aluminum".
Then, the frame was painted with Tamiya "Semi-gloss-black".
To achieve an aging effect, the black paint was chipped a little on the Frame, so that the aluminum appears again.

Here the oily windshield already fixed on the model.
On these pictures the Hotchkiss MG is already mounted.
I will show the way to mount the MG soon.









That's it for today.
Greetings from Bavaria to the rest of the world  ;D
