Hello and Happy New Year
,
Thank you very much for looking at my build and eventually commenting
It is very encouraging and push me to continue with the build
well the new year came, I got a damn flu and my plan of finishing this build during the holiday went to dust. I was able to just today do some work on the plane and meanwhile my beloved one was able to drop it on the floor and do some damage. The worst is on the undercarriage, where the "fork" for the front wheel is missing and I can't find it. I will have to scratch something or order a new parts from WnW....well I will try scratching it first. There were some damage ont he struts, but I was able to repair it somewhat, not fully but good enough. Well this is a good excuse to get a new one, probably the late version. After repairing it I worked on the tail and the rigging. I have to say that I hate the flat rigging line by WnW. It is terrible and I probably never gona use it again - it is too soft, have to be coloured and actually rigging it without making "corks" or spirals with it is practically impossible! At the end there is not much difference with the regular round rigging line, just it does look worse
Anyway I also prepared the tqwo guns, I tried the Gaspach guns and I am very glad with them, they have better detail than the original ones. There is only one thing that I don't like - the bag for the empty rounds is only for such position of the guns as if they are horizontal.... what I mean is that if the guns are in position not for firing, then the bags, being made from canvas, should be bent also (picture bellow), but the supplyed ones are not bent, which is possible only when the guns are horizontal... Well my rant is over, those guns are great.
What is left - the horizontal stabilizer and tail boom rigging, few more lines on the front, attaching the guns, scratching the front wheel holder and the propeller. I plan to carve it from wood and already glued the 7 laminations, but I didn't found time to actually carve it. Hopefully next week.
As usual any comments, constructive criticism, questions or recomendations are more than welcomed
Best regards,
Sasho
