Wingco57 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 IIRC Russian aircraft were made from moulded birch strips over a former. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm really enjoying this proliferation of aircraft laid bare. I've just ordered some of Uschi's Super Fine Veneer Plywood which might suit this kind of build too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted July 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 4, 2013 Dude, you are a hero! Also...oh man...diagonal? That won't be a massive pain or anything...(but it should look awesome if I can pull it off) ....piece of piss! Uschi decal? Soft pencil demarcation and strips made up from a combination of Knotless rich and pale decal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 6, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2013 Today my Vector Resin full engine and engine bay/cowling arrived. Just beautiful chuncks of lovely resin... I already had a Vector engine for this kit, but that is useless unless: - you're content with having a resin engine of 20+ euro's only to be seen through the small cowling louvres, - or you're willing to scratch the entire mounting frame and cowling panels. The wood grain decals are on their way. James taught me a great trick. Drop them in Cava instead of water. I brings out a richness. He discovered this by accident I have to add. Cheers!

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 6, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hackin' away! Almost half of the fuselage has been cut away. Making room for resin. Not a terribly good fit and poor instructions, but I'll get there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hang on !??? Are you allowed to start this yet??? What about the Ninak ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 6, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hang on !??? Are you allowed to start this yet??? What about the Ninak ?? Hi Grant, the misses said it was alright. As long as I clean up after me I did some rigorous rigging on the Ninak today, but after one glass of wine I switch to the more... well... crude chopping on the I-16. This is the page I'm using as a reference by the way. Bookmarked it years ago for a day like this... http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Modeling/Polikarpov/I-16/Type5/Azur/FullBuild/Sekularac/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 From hobby craft have problems with the geometry of the fuselage. By the way if there is interest I can share the book by I-16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE tell me you're doing skis as well - in which case you're forgiven for switching builds. I absolutely love the one that's shown on that site, it's gorgeous - I wonder whether the skis were made of wood??? @ Johann: Like your Russian User banner, It's really cool?

Johann Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I wonder whether the skis were made of wood??? @ Johann: Like your Russian User banner, It's really cool?

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 7, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2013 Ah the stage has been set, let the Polikarpov commenceth.... Cees Hi Cees, Set... and taking shape. The nose has been cut off. The gun fairings have been cut out. And the forward lower wing fairing has been removed with brute force. Resin sidewalls in place. Doors cut out (these will feature PE open doors). In reality the cowling slitted over the forward fuselage and that feature is nicely replicated in resin. Very thin. And yes... this baby will have skids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The surgical skills of a neurosurgeon ... looks good Jeroen and the fact that you're adding skids has made me a very happy boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
