Jo, aber ich glaube eher die 03, die war noch etwas bunter. Siehe Bild No.5 🙂
Maschin' fertig !
Engine ready for painting.

Moin Moin Hanno,
der Cyclone sieht seeeehr vielversprechend aus!!! Hab zuerst gestaunt als ich gesehen habe, dass Du die Ansaugrohre bei beiden Sternen unterschiedlich gemacht hast... Wieder etwas dazugelernt; tatsächtlich, im Gegensatz zu dem 2800er Arbeitspferd von P&W ist es mal die rechte und mal die linke Seite. Vermutlich hast Du dieses Foto verwendet?
[img1]
Ich vermute, dass Du hinsichtlich der Detailierung noch nicht die Fahnenstange erreicht hast. Wenn ja wäre es schade, dass dieses Schmankerl unter der Haube verschwindet. Daher der folgende Vorschlag: mach mal zwei Panele auf einer Seite auf oder abhehmbar (siehe Foto 2 in meinem TBF/TBM album). Auf eine Seite, um die Silhouette der Maschine enicht zu „stören". Es ist nicht viel Orbeeid und das kriegst Du gut hin.
Grüsse YW

Thank you James ! That is one thing I really like at Scalemates, bringing modelers and their knowledge from all over the globe together in their livingrooms 🙂 . So you probably saw the 2504 at the RNZAF Museum at Christchurch ?
Quote MOTAT Aircraft Collection :
" NZ2504 – RNZAF Museum, Christchurch, was located as gate guardian at Te Rapa. This aircraft was restored to taxiable condition by a group of volunteers. Unfortunately the engine broke a conrod in 1981 and has been on static display only since then."
@ Bernhard : Danke fürs Cyclonenlob ! 🙂 Das Bild wars und die sonst etwas dürftige Bauanleitung von Verlinden - die ist in dem Punkt korrekt.

Today I was finally able to return to the modeling table. Added some tubing and door attachments to the landing gear

Welcome at the bench again Hanno!!
Sieht gut aus. Vergiss aber die Schleife nicht wegen Federweg. [img1]

At last I found the time to deal with the black stripes on the lower half of the wings and fuselage.
Some minor flaws still to be deleted, but overall I' quite pleased with how it turned out so far.
Next is the upper half turning silver.......

........Really superb detailing !!
this build should give Mr Schrock a run for his money ! 😄

Moin Hanno, da wäre mir doch fast ein Lerkerchen entgangen 👍 Das Farbkeid finde ich genau so interessant wie die Details am Modell selbst, der Motor ist ja mal ein Modell für sich 👍. Frage am Rande, sind die Faltflaechen ,besser die Mechanik dafür selbst gebaut oder vom Zubehörmarkt ???
5 August 2017, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
Thx David ! Choppa, yep, being an apprentice really pays off 🙂😉 , thanks !
Jens vielen Dank für Dein Lob ! Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich Dich richtig verstehe; meinst Du die Scharniere für das Höhenruder oder tust Du mir die Ehre an und verwechselst die Fotos vom Original mit meinem Modell ? Meine Flächen sind nicht geklappt, daher der Mechanismus nicht sichbar, die Scharniere fürs Ruder sind Eigenbau nach Bernhards Rezept 🙂 Das was von der Mechanik zu sehen ist ( Bild No.21 u.22)
ist Bausatzstandard.

Excellent work Hanno. That engine is looking great. Wonderful colour scheme you have planned too.

Sorry kein Englisch ohne PC Google translate war die Rettung :-D , seid 25. April nur Tablet, nächste Woche hat die Durststrecke dann ein Ende und nie !!! Nie wieder Acer oder ein Fertigprodukt. Aber zum Modell , ich meinte die Tragflächen, da würde ich mich ja noch rann wagen, am. Leitwerk scheitere ich ja schon beim Gedanken :-D für die Helldiver hatte ich einen Resinsatz bekommen, nun war meine Hoffnung das man das auch für die Avenger haben könnte. Was du und Bernhard so zaubern, bringt mich immer wieder in Welten die mir kaum näher kommen, als eure Bilder in den Bauberichten 🙂

I'm deeeeepest enthusiastic! An excellent painting result. I'm curios to see the completed model.

@Jens: Helldiver ? Klingt seehr vielversprechend,bin sehr gespannt ! Keine Ahnung ob es da für die Avenger auch was gibt.
Thank you Bernhard !

Very nice paintwork so far Hanno. The yellow / black fuselage band is well done!
Looking forward to the next steps🙂
Cheers, Christian

Thank you, Mart, Christian and James ! Today I ordered decals from Ventura in New Zealand.
I wonder how long it will take them to arrive in Hamburg. Hopefully, the don't get stuck at the customs....
Rudder's gone red, anti glare panel and walkways on, masks off. Completion is nearing..... 🙂

Thank you Stehan and Thorben !
Almost there, only some minor things to add. Waiting for the decals to arrive....

Very nice. I have one sitting in the stash, waiting would love to build but scared to get it wrong. Lovely work and I like the different scheme
15 August 2017, 08:51
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
Completed ! The Ventura decals are nice and thin, but unfortunately not completely offset-free. A slight white outline especially on the roundels, were it is very difficult to cut it away without ruining the circular shape.

Very nicely done Hanno, and very interesting livery 👍 The detailing is superb as well.

Would not have thought Since the hobby boss seems so coherent, your work is again made extra-class, the painting appears fully compelling 👍 👍 👍

Thx Thomas and Eric ! @ Thomas : So do I, I' m not into camo at all, I like these colourful birds a lot ! 🙂

At the weekend I get a chance to see this beauty live: looks much better than on pictures. Great work Hanno.

Thank you Mike and Bill, I feel honoured ! 🙂
@Bill : A slight similarity to the scheme of your current project can't be denied !

@Hanno, right you are. And my previous Sea Vixen and Firefly projects...and a few more that are coming up.

Hi Hanno. I have a question. I see that you have in your project PE parts for Accurate not for Hobbyboss. Did it work by you? Or was it too complicated to get it in? You have no detail of the cockpit among the pictures. I would like to build British Avenger but not able to find PE parts for HB anywhere. Thanks Pavel P.s.: Your model is great!

Hi Pavel, thank you !
I went through my fotos but unfortunately I have no w.i.p. pictures of the cockpitbuild anymore.
I can't remember having any problems at all fitting the AM Set in there. Maybe a bit altering here and there but nothing major, so it might work for you as well.

Wow, thank you mates for your flattering comments concerning this old project !
