It's in the chapter on structural failure, p. 47. One of my favorites too.

I thought about picking up the Leaman book when it came out, but didn't due to mixed reviews. I went to check the other day on Amazon, and it's price is way out of the roof. I do have the GvW Datafile special pictured and the regular DF also I believe.

They're all good refs IMHO.

Yep, not cheap. I buy books as I can, and just figure the photos are really what I'm after anyway, so I don't bother with reviews too much.

Most (but not all) of the internal framing is now complete. Now I need to build a stove, and add some electric lights and panels, as well as some columns with knee braces.

I also went ahead and made a maintenance stand for the spare Roden engine, but it's pretty rough, and a tad too small. I figure to have it off to the side, inside the hangar. (35mm film canister lid just for scale reference.)

Great work Kevin. Thumbs up!

We're bibliophiles at our house, and researching and reading about my modeling subjects is over half of my enjoyment.

Wood stove begins to take shape. (It may be a tad oversized, I don't know if I'm all that happy with it.)

I really like all of the details you're putting into your hangar, I plan on doing the same.  Don't worry about the stove. Until someone comes up with an original Luftstreitkrafte issue stove, with measurements, I'd say you're good to go. ;)

You're probably right, Warren. It's not really as huge as it appears, as I zoomed in on it.

Great job. I have been following with great interest the work from the very beginning and I can say that will get a great diorama. Keep up the good work and I will look forward to your next post.

best wishes

The hanger is looking great! The Stove will add a nice touch. Well Done!

Thank you. I'm having so much fun with this project, it's just that much different from my "other" stuff.
