Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 31, 2013 Administrators Posted March 31, 2013 Hi all! Having almost finished the Fokker E.III and the fact that I've got a few days off, I decided to crack open the Ninak. Got all the HGW upgrades available. The IP panel is fantastic. Sand down the plastic bezels. Glue the PE plate one. Then a wood grain decal, followed by PE circles for the instruments. Then the kits' decals. Followed by PE bezels. Al it needs not is the compass and the copper switches. Pretty impressed so far and I've only covered the IP! Cheers, Jeroen 2
Grant Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Great start Jeroen. Looking forward to this as always.
Jeroenveen1 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 The Ninak! High on my wish list and I may buy one soon but Jeroen, this I will watch first. That panel looks fantastic and it can only be the sign for more good things to come! I will follow with interest! Cheers Jeroen, Jeroen ~darn, that really is confusing ;-) 1
Administrators James H Posted March 31, 2013 Administrators Posted March 31, 2013 .......and he's OFF!! I have the FE.2b detail set, and it has that same style of IP, so it's good to see one built up. Great work so far. I know you'll not disappoint 1
Grant Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Just been looking at the aircraft's specs. With an actual wingspan of 14 metres, this have a 1:32 span of 43.47cm's !! A big bird indeed.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 31, 2013 Author Administrators Posted March 31, 2013 Calibrate the altimeter, Jeroen - it reads about 50 ft higher than where you are.... Fantastic panel, indeed. Will be looking forward to the rest of this build. George Calibrate the altimeter, Jeroen - it reads about 50 ft higher than where you are.... Fantastic panel, indeed. Will be looking forward to the rest of this build. George Hi George, Thnx! Cees just pointed out to me that the instruments were often positioned in angles in the ww1 IP's. Just had a look at the WnW site, and he's right! I positioned all the instrument's as indicated by WnW, but maybe they used the Hendon machine as an example. Check this out: 1
Dave J Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 You will have fun with this build Jeroen! I have build quite of few of these already! By the time I build the one for the WNW website I knew all the build process of by heart!
One-Oh-Four Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Nice start Jeroen! Where do you find the time, cranking out all those models??! And when-oh-when will you build o model without a ventilator but with a blowtorch....

And when-oh-when will you build o model without a ventilator but with a blowtorch.... Hi Erik! I don't actually. That's why this is going to be a long long term project. Here's what I just got: It's a replica WW1 Territorial Force War Medal for Captain Andrew Glover Inglis ASC who transfered from the ASC to the RFC. It's his plane that I will be making and now resides at Hendon. Cheers! Jeroen 1

Administrators James H Posted April 1, 2013 Administrators Posted April 1, 2013 You're too slick for me. How do you maintain soft skin with your output? 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 1, 2013 Author Administrators Posted April 1, 2013 You're too slick for me. How do you maintain soft skin with your output? I don't! I have Zap a Gap on my knuckles. Artist oils under my nails. And X-acto cuts in my finger prints. Next time i shake your hand I will however check your moisture level, cuticles, calluses, and other wear and tear. Just so you know...
One-Oh-Four Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 And here's the finished IP: Lookee Nicee! Looking at the pic it would seem that with some more pinwash you can get the brass switches and text-plates jump out some more? Anyway, according to my humble taste... You're too slick for me. How do you maintain soft skin with your output? 4
Grant Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Whoa, nothing like a bit of bro-love going on here. Great IP Jeroen. As always, I wouldn't have expected anything else. Grant
Grant Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Lookee Nicee! Looking at the pic it would seem that with some more pinwash you can get the brass switches and text-plates jump out some more? Anyway, according to my humble taste... Hahahahahaha!!,
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 3, 2013 Author Administrators Posted April 3, 2013 Well. if smooth at all. A smooth criminal i guess! Here's a small progress pic of some wood and leather work. Lots of wood in the pit! And lots of leather too. Looks like James's closet...
Grant Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Don't take this the wrong way but I love your leather !! 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 3, 2013 Author Administrators Posted April 3, 2013 Don't take this the wrong way but I love your leather !! It's not mine! (It's James'!)
Grant Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 So.... You snuck into his wardrobe and snicked a piece out of a pair of his trousers then !! 1
