Mr D
Really nice model.... Presented in a clever way, be a shame to hide that engine work.
Like it 👍👍

Rocky-84
Thank you! Unfortunately there is a bit of dust behind the clear part. The seam between the two halfs needs a lot of sanding and filler and I couldn't avoid it completly.

Nicolas
Great work.

Alberto
Very nicely done. I have the same kit in my stash, I'm in two minds about using the clear half or not

Rocky-84
Thank you! The seam between the halfs was a bit of a problem due the different hardness of the plastic. I also recommend tape to mask the clear part and not a masking putty or something similar. For the canopy frames I used small stripes of black decals.

Mr D
Hi Rocky.
It's not noticeable, decent job.
Yes l won't use masking putty!! it's very unpredictable!! Best take the extra time and use tape. I only use masking solutions to go over the top of tape to seal it down if an awkward shape.
I've actually had masking fluid attack the surface of the canopy on my Foland Gnat !! Was a big sand n polish job to recover it.
I do use Blue/Office Tak to mask out for camo it gives nice soft edges.

These pictures open the construction of the Wedell Williams Racer. A rather simple model, but efficient, accurate and a well researched reproduction of this elegant racing machine. In respect of simplicity, it is maybe a good match for the origina.! The pictures give it away: the moulding is rather on the rough side and there are not many details in the cockpit - but it is probably close to the original here too!
I've added a few braces to the cockpit frame and belts. The accuracy of fit is, as I said, excellent, once again, I'm very impressed with the Williams Brothers.

I think I'll follow this one, looks good. 🙂

... my usual seat in the gallery, please...

Derek Buckmaster
One of these sitting in my stash... watching on in great interest, looks like a good start! Williams Brothers were ahead of their time... remember that's a 1979 tool!!

Robert Podkoński
Watching with pleasure!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Gorby, Alex, Derek, Robert: thank you very much for your encouragement and interest! You are right, a wonderful aeroplane and a really good kit: I would really like to see more in this category in this quality and in large scale - the racing machines are rather small!
In the meantime the cockpit canopy and the already reworked undercarriage legs are on the plane, I still have to sand the fuselage and the engine cowling, then I'll continue with the colour!

Lex Jassies
I do like these Interbellum racers with there sleek lines and big engines. Good luck with building this beauty 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much, Lex! Sanding the fuselage, the wheel covers and the cowling takes time, but the finishing line is in sight....

Roland Sachsenhofer
Finally something is going on here again: the white, as a somewhat capricious colour, requires repeated application and sanding.... What you see here are status pictures that have meanwhile been overtaken by reality: now the decals have - fortunately without any problems - already been applied; pictures of them will follow soon!

I have improved the propeller shaft: here the kit part shows a wrong, round-capped image. The solution was to drill a hole and fill it with a suitable hollow brass rod.

Roland Sachsenhofer
The finish line for the Wedell Williams recer is in sight: the surfaces are finished and the fragile wings are firmly braced! I look forward to showing you the finished aircraft soon.

Roland Sachsenhofer
The Wedell-Williams was completed yesterday, so I'm pleased to be able to show you a few pictures of it! As there has to be a change from time to time, I have sent a few of the pictures on a journey through time. They came back a bit grainy, but I think that suits Jimmy Wedell's machine from 1931 quite well 🙂 Thank you for your supportive, motivating and helpful comments!

Neuling
Super geworden, auch die Fotos!

gorby
Fantastic! Most of those photos could easily pass for the real thing.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Sehr schön ein weiterer kleiner Flitzer!👍👍🥰

Dave Flitton
Watching

Łukasz Gliński
Cool, wondering how bad it is 😄

Erik De Smet
Not bad at all , Lukasz, it could be that the kit is designed / produced by SOVA-M , who sell the same kit with extra sprues as maritime versions . And the split up of the fuselage in a front - central and tail section is such that a ERJ 135 could be issued too.

Finn
Looking good, will follow

Alberto Michieletto
Mmm.. very interesting livery. I'll take my seat! 🙂

Cristian A
