Another masterly build David. Hope you stocked up on WNW kits...

David Andrs
Thanks Alec. Yeah, I have got about 20. I hope they will resume their operations soon - I saw some news article that New Zealand is doing quite well regarding COVID-19. But, we will see...

Beautiful model, excellent work 👍

Neuling
I agree with Alec and Rui.

Alec K
From what I can gather, WNW ownership has troubles that go beyond Covid19. In any case, I can't imagine those molds not producing in some form or another 👍

David Andrs
Oh. I did not hear about that 🙁. Maybe, they will finally do a SPAD or Nieuport (they kind of resisted doing that, right?) Or just re-release older stuff (which they did with D.V I think), not sure if that's what would actually help them...

David Andrs
I added a link to youtube video with 360 view of the model in the album description, if anybody is interested 🙂 Mostly it was a test of a rotating display stand

Alec K
I was looking t that. Very cool! Curious how you managed to eliminate the stand from the video (at least I can't see it...)?

David Andrs
I flooded it with light. But the edge of the turn table is still visible. Stop the video at 0:05 and look under the engine cowling. You should see a hard edge there. I think if the model can fit all above the stand and the light comes from the right direction, I might manage to get rid of it completely. Should work for smaller models - my rotating stand has 13 inches in diameter...

Alec K
I see it now. Wow, totally invisible unless you point it out. What's the turntable surface?

David Andrs
Just white plastic - quite matte. Behaves quite well, I think. I also want to try with a smaller model - not an airplane. I might be able to eliminate the edge completely.

Alec K
Cool. Well, it looks pro 👍
