Hi Sam and thanks you. 😁

Dash Rendar
Hot damn, very nice! Love it.

Treehugger
Final model looks like it might perhaps be heavy, can the landing gear handle the weight?

jan zumack
He treehugger, i tested the legs with 2kg per leg, i hope it is enough. If its not i drill in a seperat roundsteel to Catch the weight.

Lochsa River
checkin this out....

I'm sorry but this is WAY too cool. It just keeps getting better and better.

jan zumack
Thank you all for your kindly words. I am suprised by my self of the result of the Projekt so far.

Dash Rendar
Damn, those tiny pipes around the jet exhausts. Very cool.

Skyhiker
Picture 210 looks like a boom box. I wonder what kind of funky music would come out of that?

Vincent
This build is looking great. Im looking forward to the painting phase!

jan zumack
@ skyhiker, the Cantina band! :⁠-⁠)

Amazing progress Jan 👍

jan zumack
Thank you Robin. 🤗

Skyhiker
Funny, that boom box you're making looks like a spaceship.

jan zumack
😂😂😂

NLAWScametovisit
Using your build to show my coworkers how awesome this hobby can be

jan zumack
Yeah do this NLAW. 👍

S M
Incredible job here!

jan zumack
Thank you S M i will continue soon. 😁

gorby
I'm interested to see how this turns out.

Martin Oostrom
Me too. I have the same one in my stash.

Cdallas2
Decided not to get too far before assembling and painting sections. Lots of parts look VERY similar so confusing myself could be an issue.

nikfrost
Good to see a loco on here, very interested.

Roland Sachsenhofer
This project has been waiting long enough, now the time has come! The "shell", seen here, is quickly put together, the glued seams are still wet, so to speak. I plan to show the A90 in a proper dio - gliding just above the water!

Michael Kohl
One one those weird sovjet constructions. Will be fun to follow.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Oh yes, Weird and.... big. That must have been a massive vehicle!

Ben M
watching

Skyhiker
Neat

Roland Sachsenhofer
Feel very welcome! 🙂

Treehugger
I just remembered, I have this kit in my stash.
Are those windows on the side? Like on passenger jets?

Roland Sachsenhofer
If this was some kind of passenger aircraft, I would book a flight for sure. 🙂
I will drill the windows and fill them with Krystal Klear.

Raz1
No windows, apparently.

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-90_Orlyonok

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you both for interest and comments! Well, I will think over with that windows.... Thank you for the link!

Skyhiker
Looks to me like there are windows in that Wikipedia photo.

Raz1
I stand corrected. I had originally not seen the windows. Thanks, Skyhiker.

Plenty of interior photos here: flickr.com/photos/la..597/with/45021731405

And the last surviving example (per Wikipedia) is here: museum-vmf.ru/

Even though the appropriate page won't load here, a photo displays in the top-of-page banner rotation.

Skyhiker
Wow, those interior shots are incredible.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I agree, what pictures! The question of the windows should now also be answered "from the inside" as well. Thanks for these excellent links, mates!

Roland Sachsenhofer
A few new pictures here too: the finished pre-shading has shown a few touch-up needs, but tomorrow I want to be able to apply the surface colour!

Michael Kohl
Probably too late, but that project would have been perfect to try a levitation display.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I think it's a really wonderful idea.... A few Star Wars themes are in the making, possibly here: I would also like to see a Tie-Fighter hovering over this base.

A nice encounter - magnets are actually being used in this project! Since I want to show the "Orlyonok" gliding over a water surface as well as standing still, I have prepared two versions of the props. In order to be able to change them stably, I attached magnets to the axis of rotation. The one on the engine was inserted through a hole from the outside. It sits on the tip of a toothpick, which has been inserted through the hole in the inside of the engine. The magnet now sits exactly in the centre of the engine diameter. The second magnet only had to be glued to the two ends of the propeller axles. Now, it works perfectly with a soft "click"! 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting project, will follow

Robert Podkoński
Following for sure. It is a great idea to use magnets.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mates for interest ans motivation!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The Oryonok still looks a bit 'artificial', but in principle shows its surface colours, which will hopefully breathe a little life into it, are the traces of use and wear that I will still apply. The windows on the fuselage will of course also be drilled out and filled with clear white glue.
At the same time, the water base is now being worked on. This time I'm using a light filler on a polystyrene base as a base for this, with Vallejo water gel on top.
The magnetically interchangeable ahrwerk and propeller have worked - which is great news of course!

Skyhiker
That's moving along fast.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mate!

Roland Sachsenhofer
A few pictures of the water base in the making: I'm using a new material to build up the water surface. This so-called 'light filler' dries within 24 hours and is easy to shape with the appropriate tools - here with a simple brush

Robert Podkoński
Just a suggestion, Roland - an ekranoplan flying above the sea 'irons out' the waves under its wings in a characteristic manner:
oldmachinepress.com/..rlyonok-ekranoplans/

Roland Sachsenhofer
Robert, thank you for that important hint, I wasn't aware of this!

Roland Sachsenhofer
....and thank you for the excellent link as well!

Robert Podkoński
I am just happy to be of any assistance to you, Roland 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
Robert, your hint made me to rethink and rebuild the whole thing a bit: the strip of water flown over is no longer deeply furrowed, but has been flattened - the picture material helped a lot.
You can see the whole thing now primed with Tamiya acrylic paint and coloured once, tomorrow transparent water gel from AK will be applied...

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Appreciated! 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Water looks already like on these photos, Roland. I cannot wait to see the plane levitating above the waves...

Roland Sachsenhofer
That´s motivating! 🙂

gorby
The water effect is very convincing!

Neuling
Yes

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mates! Very appreciated!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Before I continue with pictures of the water base that was completed today, I'll show you a few snapshots of the completed 'Orlyonok'. As you know, I made it with interchangeable modules for both a land and a flying display; here you can see the 'land version'.
Tomorrow there will certainly be an opportunity to catch the aircraft flying by and photograph it in flight. 🙂

Freak
My late grandfather served as non-flying staff in the 322 Sqn. He did go for a supersonic ride in the TF-104 once, but always said that the T-33 was the most fun. It was an old jet that you could just fly around with freely, without the maintenance cost and associated approvals that the Starfighter required. A particular story he recalled is how a pilot asked him to come along for a flight to The Hague. The goal of the flight? Deliver a letter to the ministry.
That's why I'm dedicating this build to him, and gave the backseater a letter to hold. It is a nice coincidence that the pilot model in the back seat is a bit tall, as that matches his appearance.
