The tackles on the 1/64 scale 4-pounders for my Sherbourne required 2 mm blocks -- they were tiny, and definitely a challenge to work with. -
You may post it in the new member introduction area. Say a bit about yourself and how you came to be in possession of the model, along with some pictures (the more the better for identification purposes).

Oberursel UR.II engine. The E.V was actually designed to take a more powerful engine, but the new powerplant was not available in time for production, so the older UR.II was used. Still, the E.V was light enough that the older engine was able to produce a top speed of 127 mph.

Who? Me?? 😳

I agree. It's quite striking!

I don't know why, but I'd always assumed that you were much younger than I. You are younger, but not that much!

Tail skid skinned and guns added -- no sights yet. EDIT: I should add that KK offers a laser-cut set for the Spandau guns. I haven't used them on this model, and I have to wonder how useful they would be -- I imagine that rolling the cooling jackets would be a nightmare, since I have found, with other models, that the card used for laser-cut details typically doesn't fold or roll well.

https://www.mmodelstore.com/aviattic-4and5colorlozenge-128scale.aspx EDIT: @popeye the sailor After I went to bed, I remembered that your D.VIII is not 1/28 scale. You still might be able to find some lozenge camo fabric by searching for coverings for RC planes.

The Scalemates page shows Voss' plane as a re-release of the 1957 kit with new decals, so that answers my question.

"Work bench" feed back please

A big question might be how much stuff do you expect to store in it? It doesn't look like it provides all that much storage space. -
Which kit was that? I built one when I was a kid -- nine or ten years old at the time. It depicted Werner Voss' mount.

I really admire your determination to get this right!

It comes down to personal preference, though I do like to see them included on schooners. How to rig them? There I can't help you much. Ah, this is part of the curse for those of us who choose to build obscure subjects in less popular media. We don't get as many oohs and aahs, but some are watching. I try to get around to everyone's build logs now and then, but we have a lot of them to follow, so sometimes it is a few weeks or even months before I catch up. In the end, though, build what you like, regardless of audience appeal -- that's what I do. Cheers!

I'm fairly certain that the Richthofen-style all-red box art image is a figment of the artist's imagination. Richthofen never flew a D.VIII, because the type didn't enter service until October of 1918.

Does Shipyard Make a 1/96 HMS Bellona?

Does not appear to be currently in print. -
Not a wartime recollection, but I did walk from the mainland to one of the Frisian Islands (Baltrum) back in 1980. Such an excursion is known as a Wattwanderung to the locals.

I order them from Poland, though not directly from KK (they don't ship to the US). http://kartonowa.pl/?kartonowa-kolekcja,14 Now on to a couple of shots of the closed-up cockpit and fuselage structure. My old, old phone ran out of charge this afternoon and was on the charger while I assembled this, so no good cockpit interior shots -- sorry! Once the cockpit is closed, the remaining fuselage structure goes together quite quickly. Next task will be fuselage skinning.

It's my firm conviction that one should never feel obligated to finish a model for which one has lost the necessary enthusiasm. The proof of my conviction lies in the smattering of unfinished projects on my shelves.

Camel by RGL - FINISHED - Machinen Krieger - 1/20
ccoyle replied to RGL's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Me neither. I built plastic models in my youth, always sans weathering, and one reason I've never gone back to them is the daunting learning curve for achieving realistic weathering. My hat is off to all who have acquired that particular skill set. -
Here's a link to all of the Constellation build logs, in case you missed any.

The more the merrier. The RC segment of our site can always benefit from some more content.

They are originally from Asia, but have been introduced into many parts of the world, e.g. Europe, North America, Australia.
