  1. Definitely watching this one. One of my favourite aircraft.
  2. James, your build log on the Nikitin Oseberg 'went dark' before finishing; will you finish this build?

    Also, you previously indicated you planned to review the CAF Renommee model; any time frame for that?

      It won't be long for Renommee. I also, prematurely, closed down Oseberg due to pending HMS Surprise build up. It's perhaps a bit too late to get back down now as I expect it in the next weeks. It did mean that I could do a deep clean of my workshop....the first in 5yrs.

      Thanks for the update!  Looking forward to your next projects.

  3. No concerns at all with the kit. So far, it's built up very nicely. All those plank strakes have fitted as they should, and the materials are very, very good. Vanguard Models has these in stock at the moment: https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/products/the-viking-ship-oseberg-version-3-ships-of-pavel-nikitin
  4. We have both kits reviewed here:
  5. We perhaps should've had this in our tech area of the site. This feature has been in play a long time, but even I'd forgotten about it 😆
  6. I don't understand the issue. The cam rotation and the mechanics involved with it, mean that when moving, only one piston can go full stroke at any one time, then falls in sequence as the next rises etc. Piston stroke is entirely sequential.
  7. Just bought a set of 4 from Amazon UK for £5.99. They look real useful so thanks for that tip!
  8. To those who HAVE posted, the issue is with the content provider, not the journal. It would seem to be intermittent. For example, I've logged in first time, with no delay. When an issue is made 'subscription only', it's one click which does this for the entire membership, so it's not an individual thing I need to do for each single member. Please be patient with this as we simply can't control any issues with the content provider.
  9. Conclusion Out of all the engines I've built so far, this is by far one of the easiest in terms of design and accessibility for the various fasteners that inevitably go into awkward places. I do think I'd have liked the LEDs to have been a little brighter, but they do show up well in subdued light. If helicopters are your thing, then this is most definitely one to add to the collection, especially anyone who liked the Black Hawk. Great kit, easy assembly, and very rewarding. My sincere thanks to EngineDIY for the sample you see here on MSW. To buy direct, click the link at the top of the article.
