merging books to magazines is not yet supported

Starbase101
Yes, but that's not what happens when you try merging a book into a magazine. Instead of reporting a "not yet supported" error message, it duplicates the merge interface text boxes.

There is now a new option "Merge to Magazine"

Watching too.

Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

Michael Kohl
Nice cockpit

Thomas Kolb
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Michael!

I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work so far. A beautiful subject.

Looks great so far

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...

Taking a seat here, too 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
It's a pleasure!

Nice aircraft !
One was used in the last phase of the New Guinea gold rush in the 30's...
Good luck !

Great, Roland!
I would like to see the steps you follow when making the Vac-canopy.

Very intresting project! Taking a seat.

In...

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your interest, I appreciate it!
Cuajete, I'd be happy to show you a few photos of the progress of the construction and application of the self-moulded Vac canopy. It seems to have produced a reasonable result so far....

Erik Leijdens
An unusual subject Roland! No doubt you will end up with a fantastic result

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your trust and encouragement, Erik!

Cuajete
Many thanks, Roland!
Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍

What thermoformer did you use?

Thomas Kolb
This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss that swan

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for the answers, mates! I'll show you a few new pictures from today: the surfaces have been reworked with 2000 grit sandpaper (even if it may not look like it, dusty as the "duckling" still is) to prepare it for a first coat of paint. This will certainly show the need for correction! 🙂

Nicolas
I'll grap a seat. Nice work so far.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Feel very welcome, Nicolas! 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
New pictures of the current state of construction: the 'Baby Clipper' still looks very dark, but in the next step it will get an 'Azur' blue underside, which will be completed by 'Middle Stone' and 'Dark Earth' on the upper sides. Since prototype photos already show this machine with heavy signs of use and weathering, I will endeavour to achieve a similar look here.

Finn
Looking good indeed

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Finn!

Cuajete
Nice preshading, Roland 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mate!
