coolboxx Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks Guys, cheers Dave will go for the encore, as soon as i saw your Manfred scheme well....., pretty excited about this one, now sourcing as much info as i can need to get the detail right and we do have Bertl on hand for that little extra info I can't stop thinking about how i will paint this, it will be different though and the shading should bring it to life. Looking at everybodys entries, going to be some top class modelling on show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Provided it's the Prop that spins and not the engine under the cowl. I can't remember who does it now but I've seen aircraft with spinning props that are synchronised to a sound track of the engine starting, the prop turning over very slowly then catching. All synchronised the prop jerks, spins gradually then runs fully - very clever. Do a search on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindsayT Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm always amazed by how big those props had to be to suck up all that torque. Thanks for posting, Bertl. Lindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboxx Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Very nice, thanks Bertl, if it sounds like that do i get extra points? Thats what i ment, you get the engine and prop spinning together under the cowl, but i have read the engine is a tight fit and you have to modify the cylinders not sure?

Matt_ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 That's a cool scheme... Someone manage to motorise the engine/prop of an Avis Fokker E V (same plastic from what I recall)... and appears to have kept the cylinder head details. Unfortunately, he doesn't explain the motorising bit...! http://forums.europeanmodeller.com/lofiversion/index.php?t647.html Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
