ccoyle Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share #93 Posted September 18, 2022 Not much to show for this past week. I finished the wing fairings. These are always hard to get "just right," and these aren't the best I have ever done. And an additional ventral scoop and some miscellaneous blisters. Right now I am in the process of assembling the exhaust stubs. Fun. 🙄 Cheers!

Canute Posted September 19, 2022 Share #94 Posted September 19, 2022 Would using plastic and resin aftermarket parts be doable or is that just not done by the card modeling fraternity? Just curious, as in my primary area, any part, no matter the source, is acceptable. Just depends on what you're willing to spend.

In my experience reading and talking with some of the builders on some of the european card modeling fora, the general consensus is like we are, build the best model you can, primarily in paper products, but there are those that if the parts are not all paper, or technically, cellulose based, then it isn't truly a card model....

The stubs are oval at the inboard end and taper to rectangular at the outboard end. I used a piece of shaped dowel to form the inboard end; the joint between the two sections of pipe ended up being pretty much invisible.

alpayed Posted September 22, 2022 Share #113 Posted September 22, 2022 Just a note of interest. About 3 years ago I owned and ran a small business in Melbourne Australia. A regular customer who I had known for some 10 years came in to buy some goods. I knew he was a pilot and that he had given up flying because of his age and the authorities revoked his licence. During the discussion I asked him what was his favorite plane. I was somewhat surprised when he replied Messerschmitt 109. I had a few discussions with him after this and was in total admiration him. Imagine being taken off the streets of Berlin at the age of 15, given 2 weeks training, and sent off to war. He also flew the first Jets too. (363)? I have now lost contact with him but have good memories of his stories. Love the model by the way. Keep up the good work.

Canute Posted September 22, 2022 Share #114 Posted September 22, 2022 Interesting, Allan. We had a German national at Bitburg AB, Germany, who did the interpretation of the German flight rules. They were in English, but sometimes you need to get the correct spin in things. Anyway, he had a similar tale about minimal training and flying an Me-109 at the end of the war. He was shot down and wounded to the degree he couldn't fly any more. But a great guy to talk with. And that jet was an Me-262. 👍 Dave_E, popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway and 8 others 11 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three kits from Answer, two designed by Krzysztof Fiolek (one completed) and one by Lukasz Fuczek (wound up on the Island of Misfit Models). So, the quality of the model kind of depends on the designer. Generally, the print quality on all of them has been good to very good, but diagrams not always the best.
