Go for it Greg - not much room for wiring though! I also thought you'd go for one of the AVI/LF styrene kits.

If I hadn't got excited and spent $35 on this kit 5 years ago after seeing your build, I probably would've gone with the styrene - they do look really good. Oh, well, we work with what we've got...
Of course... that's only until I figure out that the correct version of the Puss Moth is the Mk. V and not the Mk. XIV and then I can't unsee the problems... 🙂

As for the wiring, I've drilled out the engine cowling to create enough room to slot in the DC motor. It's VERY tight and I was very careful not to breach the surface. I haven't tested it yet, but I think I was able to get close enough. The small DC motors always have such a small shaft, which can be helpful but sometimes creates a challenge. I'll run two thin wires out and then hide them behind a small, scratchbuilt control panel. Then under the styrene floor and down through a hole in the underside of the fuselage. I'll have to put a resistor on it in the base, otherwise the motor will likely spin this little plan apart. 🙂

This is interesting! I'm following. I have a question. How do you connect the motor to the propeller?
26 March, 16:42
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Because I can't quite get the DC motor out of the engine cowling due to the size, I'll have to add a styrene rod to the propellor and then have it go into the cowling. To attach it to the motor itself, I'll likely drill a small hole (about the same diameter as the DC motor shaft) into the short styrene rod and then fit it to the motor shaft with a tiny bit of CA glue (making sure not to get the glue INTO the motor itself). Then I'll glue to styrene rod to the propellor. It'll be tricky to keep everything centred, otherwise the spin will be off. I'll take lots of pictures to show the process... if it works. 😉
26 March, 17:06

I am asking about the centering. I have some experience with DC motors. I have several similar ones collected from children's toys, but I dare not try.
26 March, 17:16
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Centering... well now... usually what I do is drill a hole as close to the centre as I can manage it... then I drill a little bit this way... then a little bit that way... then I slice the rod until I get a bit that is arguably in the centre...
Then I ignore the wobble. 🙂

Alright. Some progress. I have out some of the cockpit to make room for the extra windows. I was as eloquent as Uwe, so I covered my mistakes up with some thin sheet polystyrene. Put in some wires to reinforce the wings, and got the propeller spinning. So far so good, I think.

OOH. An Omega kit - I have one of their BN Islanders - Watching this one.

Got the fuselage more or less put together and painted the interior. Next up will be fitting in the windows… if I'm not back in a day or two, notify the authorities. 😉

The frame of those windows seems very fragile being resin. You have great skill, Greg!
3 April, 17:45
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Thanks Cuajete - the resin is quite tricky to work with and I had to add in some extra windows, so it was a bit touch and go. I did copy Uwe's idea to use some wire supports to both hold the wings on and provide some structural stability. The only problem is that I put one of them in the wrong spot and had to cut it out to remove and replace it.
3 April, 17:50
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
After an enormous amount of fiddling, I finally got the windows in place and Tintin, Snowy, and the medical kit seated. Now I can start to close it up. Thanks god.

Nice project again. A resin kit is always tricky and the tiny parts fragile, especially the u\c. Luckily this one will be flying. btw , Greg, do you mind making the propeller spinning in the opposite direction, so that it pushes itself in place ? I did it on some of my models, it is hardly visible . The main advantage is that you don't need to glue the propeller to the motor axle with ca, just a little bit of tacky paste inside the propeller tube will be enough.

Greg is building an Omega resin bird 👍 I have some in my stash - in 1:48 as usual - but have not started one until now.

You're right, Erik. I replaced almost the entire upper canopy framing with polystyrene and wire. I had to add some windows to this kit and wanted some consistency in the thickness of the frame. It was tricky to get everything glued in place, but I got it done more or less to my satisfaction. I'm hesitant to add the u/c elements because they seem rather fragile, but you're also right that it being in-flight will help a lot.
18 April, 14:09

I'm intrigued by the opposite spinning propellor idea. I can see where that might make things easier. Hmmmm...
18 April, 14:11

You haven't missed much... I had to redo much of the canopy... updated photos coming soon~

What does that aqueous black surfacer 1000 thin down with? Isn't aqueous a water based paint? Does it work well as a primer or does it peel off like the acrylic "primers"?
21 August, 20:19
![](/profiles/img/72957-816-s.jpg)
I haven't tried to thin it with water although it is promised to work. I could airbrush mr.surfacer 1000 without thinning with my old 0,4mm needle airbrush, but in case I want to thin it I use Mr.Hobby Color Thinner 400 (turqoise colored bottle). I think this works very well as a primer. It sticks and it can be smoothed with sand paper.

Nice work so far, watching! I also use aqueous black surfacer. I thin it 50% with Tamiya's X20A, spray it with a 0.4 mm needle at 15-17 psi. It works a treat.
22 August, 16:53
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks for the info on the surfacer. I'm looking for alternatives to using heavy chemicals, and hopefully this will be an answer.

It's been a while my friends. Have been working on 3 subjects at the same time since October. Stay tuned!

Some updates. First time using hot wire foam cutter. It turns out OK for setting up the base. Applied AK diorama paste on top.
Made the first mistake when using spray can - the paint or the agent reacts and corrodes any exposed foam surface. Had to reapply paste for the 2nd time to fix. Painting is quite straightforward, just Tamiya acrylic paint with airbrush.
Next step will be weathering.

Wow that looks superrealistic and lively ! Excellent modeling ! The only question that comes to me is - how did this Steyr manage to sink two subchasers and 10.600 tons of enemy shipping - in the african desert..... 🙂 No offence ! 🙂

Absolutely great 👍!

it looks great. fantastic details. Interesting to use copies of the Caryatids as statues (as normal Caryatids they are quite over dimensioned, and the Afrika Korps was never in Athens, I think 😉 ) fantastic dio.
