Roland SachsenhoferFinally 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 SachsenhoferThe 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 SachsenhoferI have just finished Anthony Burton's 'Richard Trevithick: Giant of Steam about Trevithick's biography - what a fascinating character he must have been! Cornwall at that time must have been a rough place... Thank you, Williams, for your words!

Roland SachsenhoferI am very happy about your positive feedback - thank you, mates! Two more T-38s, this time from Trumpeter, are still in the pipeline; well, for me the 'Talon' is one of the most beautiful jets, especially in the look of the 'White Rocket' 🙂
Skyhiker, the collection is indeed growing... 🙂 Well, the only thing I can think of regarding the 'secret' is that I like to build models in parallel with a certain consistency - rarely more than five, rarely less than three.

René "Lord Bilbo" BartholemySehr gute Zusammenfassung, Roland. Gibt mir Lust um mein Kit endlich zu Ende zu bauen.
Ich habe allerdings eine Frage: das "Wellblech" "wellt sich" auch innen, oder? Das fehlt mir irgendwie im Cockpit des Bausatzes...
Ich hatte da ein paar Sachen probiert, aber ohne Erfolg.
René

Roland SachsenhoferPotzblitz! Erwischt! 🙂 Thank you, Rene, I've obviously missed something important - I think you're absolutely right about the corrugated metal interior structure! Now that you've indicated that you've thought about a solution, I've also considered how to improve this..... I might try using black decal strips next time to at least give a visual hint of the structure, but I'm sure there are even more sophisticated approaches.
8 September, 09:12
René "Lord Bilbo" BartholemyI tried to create corrugated metal from a fine sheet of metal using my "tentacle tool" and a toothpick. It worked quite well, but there just wasn't enough space in the cockpit itself to place it. It's kinda cramped in there...
Your idea might work much better.
8 September, 16:33
Roland SachsenhoferWell, that sounds like the two of us should build another Junkers D.1! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferI am pleased to be able to present the second Junkers F.13 to you. This pleasure is fuelled by the fact that these are not tricky kits - on the other hand, the variety provided by the corrugated sheet metal was great fun and, important to say, these are not bad kits! The one thing I now realise is that with the corrugated metal-work you have to plan exactly what you are going to do and when. In any case, I can only recommend this MikroMir kit! Thank you for your interest and your valuable and motivating comments!

Roland SachsenhoferA few new pictures of the Junkers double: everything shines like crazy because the application of the decals was prepared with layers of glossy clear varnish. Of course, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the decals work!
The typical Junkers tiger stripes on the surfaces were created using various Alclad metal colours, but 'Dural' remains the dominant colour!
16 August, 16:41
Roland SachsenhoferCompletion is not far off. Well, at least I tried! In my opinion, the 'tiger stripes' on the wings worked quite well. Without this, the (really surprisingly large) wings would have looked empty. Now it's time to clean everything up and remove dust and crumbs from several corrugated sheet metal sinks....

Roland SachsenhoferThe construction of the two Junkers machines is progressing! The nice thing is that the sanding of the glued seams on the fuselage and surfaces will be very limited, at least where corrugated sheet metal edge meets corrugated sheet metal edge. But their " grooves" have to be well continued - also quite entertaining!
Here you can see the whole unvarnished truth of a freshly glued raw state: nothing has been cleaned up yet, just the worst areas have been filled or filled with plastic card.

Roland SachsenhoferThe 'Field Workshop' from Minicraft has been running for a while now, and now I've decided to finish it: I can use parts of it quite well when equipping the Junkers D.1 picture-documentation!
I would have liked a little more detail in one or two places - for example on the fittings of the pressurised bottles - Minicraft has a very good reputation here, but otherwise I'm very pleased with the subject matter and the kit design. The pictures show my attempt to breathe a little life into this beautiful and well-made kit parts. You should be able to find excerpts of them in pictures of completed models - so there will be a chance to see them again! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferThe two ZiL 131s with different truck mounts are now ready! Here you can see one with the APA-50M superstructure. The striking yellow colour corresponds to civilian use in the former Soviet Union. I chose it because of the civilian or Aeroflot aircraft for which this airfield truck is to act as an extra during their photo shoots - it also adds some colour to life.

Roland SachsenhoferThis is the second ZiL 131 from the ICM kit. As already described in the building report, these are simply beautiful kits that offer a desirable degree of complexity on the one hand, but can also be realised quickly on the other. This ZiL here shows a version as a "command vehicle" and is therefore also suitable as an extra for photographs of completed aircraft.
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed building the two trucks! 🙂

Roland SachsenhoferA few new pictures provide information about the current state of affairs: the surface colours have been applied and the decals have been applied - as can be seen from the shiny surfaces. Now it's time for some, well, subtle ageing and traces of use - and the tyres are masked off to be sprayed.

Bernhard PetheIch will die Euphorie nicht dämpfen, aber mir ist aufgefallen, am Heckrotor sind zwei Fehler verbaut. Zum einem ist die Drehrichtung des Heckrotors falsch und die Rotorwelle ist viel zu lang. Vielleicht kann man das noch ändern? Ansonst, bei diesem Bausatz, eine schöne Fleißarbeit.
11 June, 14:24
Roland SachsenhoferHallo Bernhard, ich danke Dir als Kenner der Thematik für die wichtigen Hinweise. Nachdem ich auch noch zwei Mi-10 vorhabe, freue ich mich, jetzt besser informiert zu sein! Euphorie gefällt mir auch- danke für den wirklich hilfreichen Kommentar!
