Junkers D.I early version, Roden, 1:48
« on: March 13, 2015, 07:22:15 PM »
Hello again,

Now innovative idea to implement metal structures into airplane instead of canvas!
Roden’s Junkers D.I early version & Windsock data file were taken on the desk.
General view is rather promising as manufacturer was quite adequate in details but lack of P/E parts and panel instruments is a lack
Interior: well not corrugated metal sheet visible, so looking into plane in details photo this one must have been applied. I have prepared one from baking tin, which was strengthened by hairspray.






Meantime engine was prepared:




Next question occurred, which colour interior should be painted??? Some metal part must have been protected against the corrosion somehow. As I am not metallurgist maybe someone can advise?



regards

You have made a great start with this kit, the corrugations look very good as is the rest of the fuselage interior work.

Excellent work with the baking tin! Your corrugations look great! The rest of the interior is also shaping up nicely!

Outstanding work on the corrugated aluminum, K!  The engine looks great, as well.
Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks The Red Baron for your hint! I will follow your steps. Interior was painted with final layer and varnished. I have prepared the dashboard instruments using some P/E leftovers from german planes built before and the copper wire as well.

Now the engine is finished and the fuselage assembly can be done

Hello,

last glance on the interior

and once the whole assembly needs to be prepared for base paint I have started to work on the prop.
First the grain had to be painted, next some oil paints implemented to enhance the outlook. Last varnish layer has not been laid yet
