Nice work.

Joseph Russo
Thanks gorby it was a nice change of pace from my aircraft

I won the Revell premium edition earlier this year, so I checked out your pictures. The result is looking great. I will be using a Pontos set with a replacement helo deck so I hope some of the bad fit can be solved with that.

Joseph Russo
Hi Steven I hope that works for you. The whole upper hull assembly seems to be a bit smaller than the lower half, other than that all the other fits were good
I also just looked at the Revell instructions and it looks like the mold is not Identical to the Bronco mold hopefully you will not have the same fit issues

Steven Van Dyck
Now I see, even the hull has differences. At least I have the right upgrade. There is one thing with the CH-46's, I wonder if the rear props still can be inverted. These turn with a counterspin according to the front ones. It looks like Bronco missed this detail.

Joseph Russo
iI used the MRC CH-46s instead of the kit ones but you are right the Bronco directions show the stowed rear rotar in the wrong direction.

So do I. Looks great.

With these pictures I open the book report on Roden's Junkers D.1: I tried to extend the interior with some steel wire, the seat belts are from Eduard. For the detailing I downloaded the very interesting building instructions from Wingnut Wings for the large D.1 in 1:32, which is quite helpful if you want to have a good documentation as a basis for detailing. I'm also going to realise one of the WW variants, which I immediately liked: all in Dural/ NMF with only a minimal set of markings.

Nice work so far. Looking forward to this. 🙂

Michael Kohl
Auch da bin ich dabei.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I'm very pleased - appreciated!

Watching!
I have done the short fuselage already, I hope one day I can do the long one too.

Is the engine painting finished? I can recommend the WNW manual for this, still available on WNW page.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thanks for the tip - it's definitely a good one! The printed WNW instructions are next to me, so I want to use a little oily black on the top of the engine and add a little "brass"... But not only WNW instructions, also your excellent work is my reference.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your words, appreciated!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The fuselage of the D.1 is now closed, the only thing to be careful of was not to damage the corrugated sheet metal joints. A related issue arises with the leading edges of the wings: in my opinion, the prototype shows a continuous line around the leading edge.... this will be difficult to depict: I will try to get close to this with careful sanding and the same amount of reworking with a scalpel.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Now it worked with the upload of the pictures!

My favourite plane from the Great War-era, I'm watching!

Yes to clean the wing seem is not that esay. I must admit I used also wings from another kit after I was not happy with the first try. I have both the long and short fuselage kits and the wings are the identical. But that shifts the problem only to a later date, when I will build the long one. A new Part PE set is waiting too 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your words, mates! - I completely agree that this is not an easy topic! My approach, which you can see started here, is to work on the front edge of the profile with a triangular file. I didn't even try to bring the corrugated sheet metal runs of the top and bottom together - that would be far too small for me - but simply used the file edge many times.... Well, in my opinion it looks at least a little better now than before, so I'll try to make it a little more precise....

Roland Sachsenhofer
The Alclad metal colours mercilessly bring out all the flaws and imperfections, especially when everything has already been trimmed to a high gloss in preparation for applying the decals like here! The Wingnut Wings instructions describe an effect called 'tiger stripes' on the wing sheeting, which I recreated using various aluminium and dural colours.

Robert Podkoński
A little late, but joining the party!

bughunter
The stripes are great - can be noticed, but both shades still looks like aluminium which it was.

Christian Abraham
Great build so far
