Dave J Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Jeroens Hub business! You cut them, he will hub it!
Umlaufmotor Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Hi Jeroen,here are some pictures which you may be a help. I found it somewhere on the web, years ago. Servus Bertl 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 26, 2014 Author Administrators Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Bertl, Thnx for those! I should have looked at these pics better before venturing in the Taurus engine. Pure headache material. 1. I glued the cilinders on. Only to discover the engine would not fit the cowling of the WnW kit. 2. I debonded all the cilinders and shortened them 1,5 mm each. 3. Then i saw Aviattic is releasing a beautiful resin scale thickness cowling that will fit the Taurus engine. Duh! 4. After this i somehow managed to glue all the cilinder heads / caps in the wrong way round. This was a pain. 5. And by sawing off the rocker arms from the block I already managed to screw up 2 parts. This piece of kit really makes me doubt my abilities. You can see an empty strip of aspirine in the background. Here's where I'm at...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 26, 2014 Author Administrators Posted January 26, 2014 Found this pic of Hans Müller in his plane. Great shot of faded paint on cowling. Note the wheel chocks hanging by chains from the fuselage....
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 26, 2014 Author Administrators Posted January 26, 2014 Later in the war the 161/16 (and others, like the 170/16 as painted by Ronnie Bar in Fokker Eindecker Compendium 2) received field applied camo. Brown and mid green. I'll stick to the profile as supplied by WnW...
Administrators James H Posted January 26, 2014 Administrators Posted January 26, 2014 I wish WNW had supplied the markings/scheme for the camo machines too. Never mind. Lovely work on the Taurus engine and the extreme surgery to make it fit
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 26, 2014 Author Administrators Posted January 26, 2014 Thnx Jim, Here's some gloss black paint on as a base for the Alclad. I'll add the spark plugs later and wires.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 2, 2014 Author Administrators Posted February 2, 2014 Small progress. Uschi wood decals in the pit: 3
beaz Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Love the look of those wood panels, and that big honking U.III looks ready to go.

Administrators James H Posted February 11, 2014 Administrators Posted February 11, 2014 Great looking work Jeroen. You get your wood decal looking better than mine. Any progress?
Dave J Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Bob! Glad to see that you have joined us! Welcome! 1

I'll swap you some cross masks for some prop bosses Go on! You know you want too! Von Buckle VC & Bar Bar That's a deal! Can i send to the von Buckle residence?
Umlaufmotor Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Oh, Master Buckle, those are fine parts!................... hmm .................. you've also cross masks for me? I have determined some things in my drawer, to make also a deal with you........................ . Servus Bertl
bob_von_buckles Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi Jeroen, I will confirm my address by PM Please confirm yours. Do you want just the crosses? I can also provide the square masks for the white backgrounds. Cheers, Bob Bertl, Send me your address. I will do the rest Cheers, Bob
RichO Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Nice save with the engine! Thanks for the heads up about Aviattic's thin cowling. I have not started my build yet, I want to see a lot more of what you're doing.
Typhoonattack Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Jeroens Hub business! You cut them, he will hub it! Hubba, Hubba! Looking real fine, Jeroen, as usual.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 23, 2014 Author Administrators Posted February 23, 2014 Thnx Kev, I'm going full throttle on this build again now the DVII is finished.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8, 2014 Author Administrators Posted March 8, 2014 I cleaned up all the parts ( as said more than the total of parts that comprise the engine alone!) and started painting the cowling / aluminum parts. Swirls!! All this will be covered up and partly brought back with the hairspray technique. 4
Administrators James H Posted March 8, 2014 Administrators Posted March 8, 2014 Great work. I beat myself up over the swirls, yet you seem to do it effortlessly.
