Roland SachsenhoferYesterday the A.90 Orlyonok thundered in front, here are a couple of pictures of this event! 🙂 I added a few things to the kit, such as the prominent framework in front of the cockpit, which I built "on sight" with suitable wire. I haven't been able to find out what it's for - aerials, windscreen wipers/cleaning? - but I know that it contributes quite prominently to the appearance. I also added the various aerials on the fuselage and engine.
Thanks again for the hint about the 'ironed' water behind and under the engine, that was an important tip and came in time, thanks to Robert!
24 July, 05:06
Robert PodkońskiLooks absolutely perfect, Roland! Chapeau bas! (I am happy that I have contributed a bit to this effect 😉 )
24 July, 05:34
Roland SachsenhoferThank you for your appreciated comments - it is of course very motivating to receive such feedback!
24 July, 18:03
Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much mates! In fact, the A.90 'floats' on two fine metal rods; I apologise for taking the freedom to wipe them away with the image processing.
25 July, 07:58
Roland SachsenhoferThank you for your motivating and positive comments! Makes me, well, mighty proud! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferWith these pictures I open the book report on Roden's Junkers D.1: I tried to extend the interior with some steel wire, the seat belts are from Eduard. For the detailing I downloaded the very interesting building instructions from Wingnut Wings for the large D.1 in 1:32, which is quite helpful if you want to have a good documentation as a basis for detailing. I'm also going to realise one of the WW variants, which I immediately liked: all in Dural/ NMF with only a minimal set of markings.

bughunterWatching!
I have done the short fuselage already, I hope one day I can do the long one too.
Is the engine painting finished? I can recommend the WNW manual for this, still available on WNW page.
8 July, 20:44
Roland SachsenhoferThanks for the tip - it's definitely a good one! The printed WNW instructions are next to me, so I want to use a little oily black on the top of the engine and add a little "brass"... But not only WNW instructions, also your excellent work is my reference.

Roland SachsenhoferThe fuselage of the D.1 is now closed, the only thing to be careful of was not to damage the corrugated sheet metal joints. A related issue arises with the leading edges of the wings: in my opinion, the prototype shows a continuous line around the leading edge.... this will be difficult to depict: I will try to get close to this with careful sanding and the same amount of reworking with a scalpel.
11 July, 07:09
bughunterYes to clean the wing seem is not that esay. I must admit I used also wings from another kit after I was not happy with the first try. I have both the long and short fuselage kits and the wings are the identical. But that shifts the problem only to a later date, when I will build the long one. A new Part PE set is waiting too 🙂
12 July, 16:49
Roland SachsenhoferThank you for your words, mates! - I completely agree that this is not an easy topic! My approach, which you can see started here, is to work on the front edge of the profile with a triangular file. I didn't even try to bring the corrugated sheet metal runs of the top and bottom together - that would be far too small for me - but simply used the file edge many times.... Well, in my opinion it looks at least a little better now than before, so I'll try to make it a little more precise....
14 July, 08:57
Roland SachsenhoferThe Alclad metal colours mercilessly bring out all the flaws and imperfections, especially when everything has already been trimmed to a high gloss in preparation for applying the decals like here! The Wingnut Wings instructions describe an effect called 'tiger stripes' on the wing sheeting, which I recreated using various aluminium and dural colours.
18 July, 11:56
bughunterThe stripes are great - can be noticed, but both shades still looks like aluminium which it was.
18 July, 14:53
Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much, mates!
The opinion on the 'tiger stripes' really really pleases me in a very motivating way!
18 July, 18:15
Ludvík KružíkRoland, your model looks very good. I really like the interior of the plane and the engine. Also your rendition of the corrugated sheet metal looks very realistic. 👍
20 July, 14:02
Roland SachsenhoferLudvik, thank you for this comment, giving me a push to get the finishing steps done!
21 July, 06:54
Roland SachsenhoferA few steps closer to a finish: working with Roden decals is always an adventure, happy end not guaranteed! The whole thing is spiced up by the corrugated metal nature.... Well, this is the result; I will of touch up up the unclean parts with a brush, but on the whole it will stay like this - now for the signs of use and wear!
25 July, 08:01
Roland SachsenhoferThank you! 🙂
The Junkers D.1 is slowly approaching its final appearance - and that didn't work out quite as well as I had imagined! But what the heck, there are some nice things, like the turnbuckles or the two MGs from Gespatch; I'm also happy with the solution for the typical Junkers handles and footrests: a thin, glued-on metal rod was covered with finely cut Tamiya tape as a ridge. Well. I am satisfied with this overall impression.
26 July, 19:22
Ludvík KružíkAs the work progresses, Junkers grows in beauty. Thanks to decals and small details the model looks better. 👍
26 July, 22:09
Roland SachsenhoferThe Junkers D.1 from Roden is now finished, in a way my corrugated metal test run for the somewhat larger Junkers F.13 from Mikro Mir. There are enough problem areas - and also a few insights into how I can proceed better with the F.13, but even so I am surprised by the 'photogenicity' of the little fighter from the last days of the First World War! The markings, which are limited to the bar crosses and two '11s' on the rear of the fuselage, come from the Wingnut Wings documents; they show an aircraft from October 1918, i.e. shortly before the end of the war. Remarkable (and also a reason for my choice) are the 'tiger stripes' due to different metal panelling on the wings, which show up in the right light. I hope you like the pictures, I really enjoyed building it!

Nick DragoneExcellent build and photography. It would have taken me months to build this. Nice work
30 July, 16:07
Michael Kohlvery nice and convincing weathering. Great outdoor and hangar shots. A joy to watch.
30 July, 19:09
Arseny K.Very inspirational in-progress and built model pictures! Exceptional example of modeling art 👏🏼
31 July, 07:31
NeulingWellblech ....... das muß eine Junkers sein 🙂 Cool pictures and perfect build ..... this must be a Sachsenhofer
31 July, 08:16
Roland SachsenhoferHi mates, I am really impressed and greatly pleased with your comments - thank you very much for this encouragement and motivation! To receive such feedback from highly esteemed modellers means something and makes me.... well, a little bit proud!
