Too cool your Morane, Bertl! Incredible work.

Your next project? Judging from the radiator… a Bf-109?

Stunning work Bertl such fun to read back through all the pages.
I found mention of Photobucket, I am having terrible issues with them, have you gone on to another photo site? If so, with whom?
The thought of loosing over 13,000 images, mostly modeling is scary...

Thumbs up !

I never thought I could drown under a mass of gorgeous photos of a Morane scout... but I always hoped

@all
Many thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

@Borsos
I think this could be a Ju88 in biplane version 

@acewwi
You're right about that ....I think you've been peeking at the "Flugzeugforum"

@Allan31
Yes, I migrated from Photobucket - the methods there were not to my taste.
Too bad for the amount of lost pictures - what a shame.

I have found this provider:

Again a bit of work on the Morane.
The model was fixed in a non-slip position and the control stick was locked in an almost neutral position with a carved auxiliary tool.
I then clamped the pendulum rudder in neutral.
The elevator control cables were then very carefully tensioned in sequence and taped to the "assembly stand" with Tamiya tape.
I marked the control cables with different colors of felt pen so that they could be tensioned in the correct sequence.

After all four control cables were well tensioned - always making sure that the control stick and the elevator remain in neutral (!!) - the control cables were glued in the holes of the control horns with a tiny drop of super glue.



As soon as the superglue had tightened, the big moment came - clipping off the control cables from the auxiliary tool:

After I removed the model from the jig, the control cables were glued again for safety and cut off just behind the rudder horn.
To cut the control cables, I always use my "Belzer pliers", an ingenious instrument - see pictures:

...... and now the big moment  :

The control stick moves in the direction of "neutral":



.... and the Elevator moved to "neutral" position:




and now the control stick moves to "pulled:



.... the Elevator moved to position "pulled":




at last, the Control stick moves forward:



.... the Elevator goes to "dive" position :



As a reminder, the rudder also works in conjunction with the rudder bar.
See post # 324

Thus, the elevator and the rudder, including the respective controls, are movably connected and mounted on the Morane via control cables in a sensible manner

Since the model was just lying on its back, a few pictures of the oily belly of the little Morane- fuselage:

Now comes the last big step - the final assembly of the wings - for this the model was fixed on the underside of my sanding plate with the simplest means:

When the fuselage was fixed on the plate, I was thinking about what to build as a jig for wing mounting - funny enough, not two minutes later I had two Tamiya paint jars in my hands - put them underneath, I thought - and that fit right away, brilliant!!! ..... You have to be lucky.

The jars were fixed to the base with double-sided tape and all was well.

The model will also remain fixed to the board for bracing - I'm curious how unstable or how firm the wings will be after bracing to the model.







In the last picture, the two wings are already glued to the fuselage.

So, that's it again - see you soon.
