Keeping my head in the game.....
Egilman replied to Egilman's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Thank you my friend, something to do while I get RL in order... Still recovering from the government actions that cost so much financially.... Currently working on the firewall.... And the reverse side.... It's complicated, a lot of other parts previously created have to mesh with it and it's not just one solid piece.... Closeup.... About to start version 2 of it, after I correct a few of the issues the other parts are creating... Anyway, onwards, eventually I'll get it sussed out.... -

Yep, on all mustangs the panel around the exhaust was stainless steel.... And Yes, some of the Mustangs, (like the T-bolts), had camoed wings and bare metal fuselages... but for some reason pics are rare.... -

Yep Radio aerials are never taut, especially in the beginnings of wireless.... The copper wire was just plain too soft, they would break under their own weight if stretched too tight... By the time WWII came around they had switched to aluminum wire for aerials, much much stronger, they could actually pull them almost straight... I have a headache from trying to figure out how he did it without making a tangled mess...

That's a pretty good rendition of the swell on a mild day on the North Sea.... (10 to 12ft) Now to duplicate the greyish black-blue of the water... Geese, a master at work... It's a sheer pleasure watching you do your thing brother...

My Great Uncle had a farm in West Burke VT. 40 some odd milk cows and a bull.... (learned not to stand around the back end as they were being milked, {chuckle}) They were very friendly, and always came in for milking in the morning.... The Bull had his own section of pasture and would stand about ten feet inside the fence and just stare at you, the look in his eye was terrifying.... We used to build forts in the hayloft from the bales.... it was a grand time in my life....

https://lukgraph.pl/ https://www.facebook.com/LukGraph/ They have an online store.... Best, (read cheapest) place to buy them... And they have all the extras (decals, both camo and plywood) as well... I have his Halberstadt D.II and Albatross C.III.... They are beautiful kits.... Send Lukasz a message, he's a great guy...

Actually yes it does, although he has slanted it towards the late war German Me 109 and the effort to keep it a viable combat aircraft, Daimler wasn't the first to use water injection and eventually methanol-water injection... Pratt & Whitney was.... In the R2800... It is what made the R2800 the engine it was... The water injection version entered production at the end of '42 and reached the front lines in mid '43... a full year before the first Me109K flew... As the initial production Corsairs and Hellcats came back for engine replacement they were upgraded to take the more powerful engine... By the end of the war all Corsairs and Hellcats were running on Water/Methanol injection engines... But it is interesting in it really explains what engine Knock is and what stops it.... (keeping combustion chamber temps down, while packing even more high octane fuel in) the easy way is to boost octane, but in wartime conditions that is not always available... Also something not said, the manifold boost and injection was not something used 100% of the time, it was used in emergencies only.... And yes even on the 109K, otherwise you would be rebuilding engines every two or three flights instead of every 50 flights.... Water injection was never incorporated into the Merlin engine in an operational aircraft to my knowledge... But I don't know everything {chuckle} and I'm sure those brothers that do will tell me quick... Excellent video my friend.... -

Excellent Video Andy... Proves one thing, absolute speed is relative... Personally, Test aircraft should not be lumped in with service aircraft, and thankfully he didn't include the whole transonic arguments and the claims made in that genre... I tend to stick with combat aircraft.... Within the role they played in combat... Below 5,000ft the Tempest could walk an FW190, The Mustang couldn't do that... (in any configuration) Between 5-20,000ft they all flew in the same envelope and performed very similar.... Above 20,000ft there are only a few and of those only one saw significant combat.... And the Mustang, the Merlin powered Mustang, was that airplane.... In My Humble Opinion of course.... {chuckle} -
What you need to do brother is create driven pathways, places where the grass is trampled down along a vehicle track... The vehicles would always take a path repetitively and would wear down the grass eventually turning into mud paths.... Much like your mud puddle... They would be wider than the tires by two or three times, of course the grass on the airfield never got that high in the first place, but in the traveled areas and passage tracks it was always laying down... from being driven over...

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
