Lloyd FJ. 40.05 1/48

[Thumbs up]

These factory workers like their Lager!

These factory workers like their Lager!

They most certainly do  ... like we all, don`t we? 

In my opinion linen.

Pustota, this is exactly my eduacated guess as well.
In the meantime Jacek completed the new, better, bigger... rudder 

[ermeio]

alieron and stablizers line, horizontal stabilizers seem more dark and glossy, but other similar aircraft have them covered in linen, so i guess linen.

[pustota]

Looking good!

In the meantime Jacek has finished his Muromets project:




And some update on the Lloyd FJ:
The construction of the horizontal stabiliser:

What do you think does it look plausible. There was an extended discussion on the other forum - (our native - Polish one) concerning the possible construction of this part. What do you think about these rounded parts at the front of stabilisers (plywood)?
Fragment of the fuselage:


And the stabiliser covered:

What do you think since we are discussing that with Jacek:
1. The stabilisers should be as you can see in the picture.
2. The stabilisers should be flat and simple as for example in Lloyd C.V.
Your opinion is very important for us!

[pustota]

As i can see on the pictures, it flat with rib tape.

[xmald]

Thanks Pustota - I agree with you I also think it should be flat.

[xmald]

We have come to agreement with Jacek and the stabilisers will be cast in both "flat" and with construction visible variants.
Jacek has cast the rudder and the first version of stablisers in resin:

IMHO they look really good.
Here is the picture of the wing in progress

Let us know what you think!

[ermeio]

Hm, good, but:

the wingtip points up too much
and
the angle of the wooden panels seems suspicious.

just an impression, though - you should provide more photos
er me

[xmald]

Thanks for your remarks. I`ll ask Jacek to take some more pics.
This is just a raw wing - Jacek is going to work on it some more!

[xmald]

Here`s a picture from another angle - maybe it`ll clear things out.

[pustota]

Casted parts looks good!

[xmald]

Those are the wings - I`ve pointed out to Jacek that in my opinion he should still work on the resin one and refine the trailing edge as well as the tapes. After doing so he should copy the refined resin wings.

[RAGIII]

Amazing work! I really am enjoying seeing how he works in metal and turns it into a resin prt!
RAG!!!

Incredible to watch, looking forward to seeing more updates.
