Re: Bristol F.2B Fighter, Eduard 1/48, Update 4.3.2019 Control of shutter

Still, I have a doubt. I remember when building my F.2B I could not find any photo from the era showing the shutter control mechanism depicted in the TVAL replica. Have you got any confirmation for this, seemingly pure-WNW concept?
May be you are right, good point!

One confirmation is the technical point of view. There is no way inside to control it, because of the radiator. So even the thin pipes of the sync gear of the Vickers-MG running around the radiator and run into the fuselage just behind it. So it seems plausible.

And on the Windsock Datafile vol 2 there is on page 15 a picture showing the wires and lever very similar, even if the shutter itself is a different type.
Many pictures showing earlier F.2 wihtout a shutter at all, but if with shutter, I think it needs to be controllable.


It is definitely a good point!

Once again - great modelling!

Simply lost for words. The amount of detail is breathtaking. If that does not win a prize I will eat my hat!

WOW my friends, what a great feedback!

So nice to see how you manage to dance along the fine line between genius and madness.
Manni, how true! And that line is very fine ::)

If that does not win a prize I will eat my hat!
Stephen, you don't need to eat your hat ;D

At first I got a Bronze medal - for the SE.5a "Night Fighter" and ...
finally this damn Crocodile reached GOLD! And I got some very nice words from the jury afterwards.
So this model takes a huge effort, but it finally I'm totally happy with the result - the model itself and the result of the contest.

I hope I can create a entry in the completed section with the final pictures next week.

Cheers,
Frank

Congratulations Frank on both awards. The Crocodile is certainly of Gold standard in every possible way.
