Mick, great start. I'll be watching.
Question - how did you do the water base? I have a sub to build and that water base is a little daunting. Looking for ideas.

It's sculpting clay onto MDF. It has to be something stiff, because clay shrinks while drying. Formed with one of those dentist little ball tools for fillings.

Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️

A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.

I gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.

Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...

Glad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?

1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.

Great work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.

thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...

@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work

What was the cause of engine fitting? I have just got the engine pack. Any advice?
Ah, I read your previous post. It seems that most folk seem to buy these things as an aesthetic object so hats off for taking this on!

@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊

Following! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂

@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆

After a longer break on this I was finally able to restart on this build. Main engine components placed in fuselage, rivets added (as much as possible on this scale) and hydraulic tubes adde to landing gear. Now a bit of tedious work ... sanding and preparation for primer. Not much but in tricky places.

Great job, not the easiest in 1:72 scale is it Thomas? but it is rewarding when completed!
26 June, 16:21
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
Thanks @Frank!! Indeed it was a challange, especially when working with these resin parts for the first time. But as you say, I hope it will be rewarding once the Würger is done 🤷♂️

Thanks @Jürgen. Working on the main paints already … German camouflage in 1/72 is a challenge 🤣

Many thanks @Shar! Appreciate it. I used the one and only (for me) Mr. Surfacer 1500.
14 July, 08:09
![](/profiles/img/34360-107-s.jpg)
Yes, I like to use that too (Mr. Surfacer ). What gun, nozzle size and pressure do you spray with?
14 July, 08:18
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
Good choice 👍 I apply the primer with a H&S Evolution, 0.4mm nozzle and about 1-1.2bar pressure. Thinning ratio about 40/60

It would be very welcome to know who is looking after the kit, I am offering. Is there a clever/fast method for this? Maybe via automatic messaging in Scalemates?

Hi Robert
Yes agree with you coordinating wish list with selling list.
By the way I am interested with couple of your kit's especially Matcbox
Regard
