Salmson 2-A2 "USAS" - Capt. Clearton H. Reynolds - WnW 1:32

[Rafael Berlin]

Dear friends,

this week I completed my Salmson 2-A2, it took me nearly 18 months.

As colour scheme I chose the No. 5247, Capt. Clearton H. Reynolds. It comes with Pheon Decal set 32050 (now Gothaforce).

I built the model it in a way which allows to display it with and without cowling. This grants a view on the motor and the generator (due to elastic thread and a hook the cowling can be removed). I put some pictures at the end of the post to demonstrate.

All pictures from entire build can be found here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6HJAoo86QpPWBft5A

Now here my rough selection:





































Subsequent pictures show how to display the model with and without cowling. If there are any questions, please ask 







Thanks for watching,
Rafael

It may have taken 18 months to build but it was time well spent. That is a first class model in every way and a very interesting and original method to display the engine and other interior details. Fantastic model.

I doff my chapeau to you Rafael 

It looks like all the time you invested in this one was worth it. The more I look at it the more I keep seeing other details and modelling touches that I like

Excellent. Colourful. Complicated. I like your Salmson very much.

WOW.  Absolutely amazing.  Those detail shots are unbelievable.  That rigging is something else.
