Morane-Saulnier Type N on skis?
22 July 2019, 16:54
bughunter
Hey my friends, very nice research 👍
David, no heli - to new 😉
Slavo, very good: in russian service,the ski looking the same 👍, but a newer Morane-Saulnier.
Daniel - no Jenny, but a title of a Windsock is a very good match!
Derek, this is a 98% hit! The russian ones has a 110hp Le Rhone and was called "Type I".
I want to build the machine known from the Brian Knight painting on cover of the WD 58: Book: Morane-Saulnier Types N,I,V (by J. M. Bruce)

Hehe, nice little guess the celebrity quiz... And very nice work on the object of guessing too - crazy stuff & techniques you do there... 👍 I almost suspect you have a dummy 10cm diameter € cent coin on the table... The work would be still great, but at least believable😉 Is the use of plastic or a "kit" in the classic sense at least planned in this build? 😄

Yap Slavo, it is in fact a oversized cent containing chocolate ..

Back in our youth those were called Schokotaler.

Slavo, thank you! You asked for a new Cent picture, so I just made a new one and uploaded it. But I doubt that it is more believable now. 😉 Yes, I will use a Eduard kit 8091 Profipack. The project was already entered together with all the accessories, but as idea. Now I attached the album to that project. The plastic wheels on the axle are replaced by skis at the end. Since I was not sure about how to scratch those skis I decided to do it first, to have the option to do a different marking in case of fail. The rest will be very similar to the type N project: Morane-Saulnier Type N | Project by bughunter (1:48)
There are still problematic tasks: engine is bigger and I need a different cockpit cover.
The decal problem is solved, because other users here was able to help me 👍

Again a very intersting project🙂

As Sherlock Holmes would say 'Elementary, my dear bughunter'! I much admire your work on the early machines - building 'stick-and-string' has always frightened me! I have no doubt this one will end as a real gem again.😉
22 July 2019, 21:49
bughunter
Thank you mates! I uploaded pictures of the finished engine.
23 July 2019, 16:50
Derek Huggett
Like I said....just scarey! 👍
23 July 2019, 17:01
Slavo Hazucha
I fully expect the cylinders and exhaust pipes are fully drilled out, and the valve pulleys positioned correctly according to the firing order of the engine, of course...😉 👍
23 July 2019, 21:15
Tim Heimer
Like I said before, his work never disappoints!
24 July 2019, 00:18

Thanks Gentlemen! Slavo, to do a running engine is an idea 🤔
25 July 2019, 13:18
Greg Baker
I saw the pic and went... "Holy...Sh..." and then I saw it was bughunter's work and went... "Meh... not bad..." I think I've been desensitized to the spectacular now...
25 July 2019, 14:09
bughunter
Greg, that is a effect of habituation (the engine), to avoid this I tried something new: the skis😉

Cristian Bordina
Fantastic !!!
25 July 2019, 14:34
bughunter
Thank you Cristian!

Slavo Hazucha
An actually running engine would legitimately be allowed to reach up to 5€-cent coin size...😉

Seriously, the air-cooling ribs and the quality & cleanness of the work is just beyond... 👍
25 July 2019, 19:43
bughunter
The kudos is going to Eugeny from Small Stuff for such incredible kits! Not only the quality of the resin parts is perfect but also the engineering allows to build such gem in a very short time. With the experience of around 10 rotaries of different types (9 kit types are available) I can build and paint it on one afternoon😉

I will not miss this, and refuse to be desensitized to bughunters work...

Alec, nice to meet you here! Uploaded the pictures of the airsrew, only decals and final clear coat missing.

Alec K
Looking great 👍
28 July 2019, 13:30
Slavo Hazucha
That wood looks like wood!😉
28 July 2019, 15:30
bughunter
Thank you Alec and Slavo! It is a bit crazy to create a wooden screw and paint it brown 🤔 So for my Type N I used the kit provided one, but here I need anyway a different one and I'm used to that wooden ones ...

Cockpit looks awesome Frank. I love those instrument dials 👍
11 August 2019, 11:52
Slavo Hazucha
Beautiful instruments & cockpit details - but the title goes to the classy chesterfield seat upholstery😢 👍

as always, looking fantastic 🙂

After a year as shelf queen I decided to continue on this project, after the Triplane has left the bench.

Are you somehow in a competition against yourself Bughunter? Will you be able to surpass Black Maria?😉
19 August 2020, 19:35
bughunter
Thx! Competition? Yes, I want to (or should?) finish sleeping projects before starting new ones.
Surpass the black Tripe, not sure. Most of the work was done a year ago, but then I had now idea how to create the huge cockpit cover against the Russian winter. I tried some different ways, with brass sheet, with alu, with Evergreen - but I didn't like any of the attempts! The problem is still not solved. But if the rest of the aircraft is finished this will put some pressure on me to find a new way or be happy with a less perfect solution.

Your engine is a piece of art 👍
Great detail work alround.
19 August 2020, 22:31

Thank you Rui! If all is going ok I can start the rigging soon😉

Ah Intermission ended..
Very nice progress with the engine Frank.. Looking superb as usual...
20 August 2020, 18:57
bughunter
Thank you Daniel! Had a déjà vu, see pic55!
Yeah, some important steps done (the one, which forces it to be shelf queen), new pictures added.
21 August 2020, 19:20
bughunter
The rigging is done - not far away to the end!

Fantastic as always bughunter!

I just love looking through your build logs, so inspiring! 👍
25 August 2020, 05:41
Slavo Hazucha
So now you are re-discovering engineering solutions for early aviation Ski´s landing gears - just a natural evolution of your approach to making these kits.. 🙂

The rigging on this one with all the metal inserts is just epic. Your models are completely losing any sense of perceivable scale when photographed as the Maria with all the details & original materials... 👍

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
Meh... the blue of the tail roundel doesn't even match with the others... Not impressed!

KIDDING!
If there's a "scalemates biplane modelling deity", it should have your name. And I'd worship it!
(And that's especially hard for me, being a hard-boiled atheist...)
25 August 2020, 09:36
bughunter
Thank you mates for your kind comments! Highly appreciated 👍
@Björn good to see you back 🙂
The fishing line has the disadvantage, that not all lines are always under tension but it is needed here to hold the wings. My usual rubber line do not work if functional rigging is needed. Now all wires are painted with metal paint, looks even better. I hop I can show the final pictures soon.

72-75: in der Tat, was für ein kontrolliertes Gewussel 🙂 Ergebnis sieht wie immer top aus! Wie spannst du die Kabel, damit einige nicht durchhängen bzw. mehr/weniger Spannung haben als die anderen? Ich vermute symmetrisch links und rechts? Von innen nach außen oder anders herum?
25 August 2020, 15:38
Gary Dahlström
Oh god, it took me a few seconds to notice the turnbuckles. Just magnificent.
25 August 2020, 15:55
bughunter
@Bernhard, eher frei Schnauze😉 Teilweise gehen die Seile einmal komplett rum, da braucht man dann links und rechts nicht extra spannen. Man muß nur immer dran denken, nur eine Seite zu verkleben und am anderen Ende vorher zu spannen. Ich habe es geschafft, an einem Seil beide Enden zu verkleben, ohne zu spannen. Da durfte dann das ganze Seil nochmal neu, grrr! Als alles fertig war, habe ich die Durchführungen durch die Fläche erst verklebt, damit die besser gesichert sind.
@Gary, most of the turnbuckles are Gaspatch Type C.
25 August 2020, 16:47
Bernhard Schrock
Schlau. Und logisch. Hab's bisher nur im „Kleinen" am Leitwerk wie z.B. Mr. Mulligan oder Bellanca gemacht und nicht so global (Tragfläche) gedacht🙂. Beim nächsten Projekt probiere ich deine Idee aus.

Again a project finished - thanks for watching 👍
