Gordon SørensenWatching! Many years ago at the Reno Air Races I saw the full-size reproduction. Very sleek looking aircraft.

Bernhard SchrockThx Mates. This was an easy decision because the kit parts were not correct (upper edge should be straight, edge too thick) and lacked details. I spent in all only 2.5 hours.

Bart GoesaertLooking good, never seen such a landing gear before... When looking at the museum model, landing this beast must have been quite an adventure, sight from the cockpit to the ground was as good as nill...

Bernhard SchrockBart: indeed, you are right. Because of that the seat could be rised after sliding the aft (divided) part of the canopy into the cockpit. I can't imagine how this worked: the cockpit is very tide and on the pictures you can't see any rails.

Bernhard SchrockAs usual I used my special mix for NMF-finish: 50% Testors-metalizer and 50% Testors-Sealer.
I discovered that paper can be used as polishing tool too: on one edge of the windscreen I had spraying dust and cold polish them away with a corner of 2 x folded paper hold with a fine tweezers.

Alec KLooking awesome Bernhard 👍 Can you say which metalizer and sealer you used (product numbers)? Thank you.

Bernhard SchrockHi Alec, see please the pictures 20-22. Aluminum toned up with Titanium (darker) and down (more grey) with Magnesium. It's important to have an even and smooth surface (for example 1500). Note: it's possible so sand and polish the Metalizer&Sealer mixture. Unfortunately it's impossible to get this products in Europe because the EU-Lösungsmittelreform (~2014).
Few months ago I had great luck and buy in german eBay several bottles🙂

Bart GoesaertSplendid paintjob... finely painted or masked on the wing details..

Kerry COXJust stunning Bernard. 👍
Your scratch building and attention to detail is why your the champion you are. 🙂

Klaas van der WielenI haven't built my long wing version of the Racer, so this is great to follow. Very nice job!

Gordon SørensenAnother great finish, Bernhard! Your attention to detail, and skill to recreate that detail, is fantastic! No main canopy?

bughunterAlec, you are completely right, every Schrock build is a Trade Mark 👍 and this one is no exception!

Hanno KleineckeSaw this beauty ( almost finished ) live on monday, this superior craftsmanship never ceases to stun me !

M MAmazing build. I love this and the fact it's not something you see everyday.

Bernhard SchrockThx mates for you extraordinary feedback.
Gordon: I found a hint on an website that the H-1 provided a special seat (adjustable in heigh) because the very streamlined canopy. The pilot could raise the seat upwards for better sight during start and landing. But I could not find out how exactly the (divided in left and right half) canopy was stowed in the fuselage. Because of that I left it outside the fuselage.

Robert PodkońskiThis one is stunning too, of course! (I have been a bit confused at first, when looking at Hanno's album at the same time, to be sincere...;) )

Bernhard SchrockHi Robert: this is the groupbuild picture of the groupbuild🙂. The "Longwing-variant" (right in the picture) is build by Hanno.
