Morane-Saulnier Type "N", Special Hobby 1/32

[Umlaufmotor]

An aluminum tube was glued to the end of the fuselage to provide sufficient stability for the rudder.

First test:
Rudder is movable.

[Umlaufmotor]

Photo-etched parts are included with the model to represent the rudder horns.
However, these were too unstable, too flat and unsuitable for my project.
Do-it-yourself was the motto.
The rudder horns were carved from scrap plastic.
The challenge is to make both horns look exactly the same and to keep the scale effect.

And now the next test:
Note the rudder at the end of the fuselage and the position of the rudder bar in the cockpit.











It works

I was waiting for this, to see the working rudder. Will you do this for the elevator, too?

Magical work, Bertl 

Pure magic.

What a great detailing!

Incredible job on the prop and the spinner to begin with.

The miniscule scratched turnbuckles and control cables are awesome.

And a working rudder and elevators is just genius Bertl!

Slicing up such a tiny engine and rebuilding it is very courageous but it turned out very well.

Your detailed build log is a feast to follow!

Yes, the elevator are also movable.
I'll get to that for tomorrow with the next set of pictures .
It wasn't quite as easy as with the rudder, but in the end it works very well 
The model itself is now almost finished, the only thing missing at the moment is the mounting of the wings to the fuselage.
Otherwise everything is finished except for a few small things.

@bobs_buckles
Thanks Bob, but that's just the little wizardry .... I learned that in Gryffindor 

@Rookie
Thank you very much for your kind words, Willem.
It goes even further with the built log, the next challenge was the scratch built of the interior of the cockpit.
Unfortunately, very little is included in the box.

Bertl, the word I keep coming back to describe your work on this N is "exquisite". Truly exquisite craftsmanship.

Incredible, magical and a bit of Stardust, Bertl! This is a very inspiring thread to follow! Well done! Marc.

Catching up after being away for a few days. This is scratch building at a level that only Frank and a few others can match. Brilliant.

I am eagerly looking forward to see it complete. Your attitude to the modeling and the results are... I ran out of appropriate words...

Amazing miniature engineering!!

Well, after a very tedious and busy week I only manage to post pictures again today.
But that's life..... .
But first, thank you all for your kind words, I'm glad if you enjoy the build report.
