1:32nd scale Hansa-Brandenburg W.20

[sandbagger]

Hi all,
As the aircraft had a beaching trolley and of course the kit does not supply one, I scratch built it.
Made from 0.8 mm thick plastic card, Axle is 1.8 mm diameter tube with 0.5 mm rod support brackets.
Wheels are from the ‘Kellerkind’ Tail Skid Trolley (54/077).
Padding bead is 0.5 mm diameter styrene rod from 'PlusModel'.
The three leaf suspension on both sides of the axle are made from three 0.2 mm thick plastic card strips.

Now onto the tail trestle,

Hi all,

I forgot the figures.

I'm not much of a figure painter, but I add them to my models primarily for scale effect.

 

‘Wings Cockpit Figures’ - (Seated pilot LSK 07A) - butchered somewhat to fit into the cockpit.

 

‘Elan 13’ Miniatures German Naval pilot WW1 (EL19).

 

 

‘Elan 13’ RFC Mechanic WW1 (EL41) - removed the RFC forage cap making him bald.
