Airfix 1/24 scale Bf109E.....or a bed of thorns

[Wurger]

Appreciate guys...

The ring was attached to the inner side of the top half of the wing. For setting at a correct position I used a cardboard circle. Then I marked with a pencil two lines that run like rivet lines at the upper surface. The next step was to add two thin plastic bars.

You make this look too dam easy.

THX VB.

When It was finished I sanded the new part a little bit down in order to shape it more.But I have checked how it looked like firstly.

Beautifully neat work my friend. It's a pity manufacturers of large - scale kits don't include wing spars to stop the warping in the first place. Looking forward to the next bits !

Great stuff Wojtek. So for the wall of the well, are you going to put the leather curtains in or have them open to see the spars?

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Excellent work Wojtek....wil you be installing working cannons in the wings my friend!

I would do it for sure if I had the gun licence.


THX all of you .

I wasn't going to add the leather curtains because I thought it would be interesting to show some of the wing structure. Bit firstly I attached the ring to the starboard wing.The rest of the work on the landing gear bay was the same like for the port wing half.

Appreciate guys...

Going farther I made a piece of the main wing spar that was seen when the leather curtain were off. I used styrene cabbages for that.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wow!

 

[Airframes]

Beautiful work !

 

[Wurger]

Then I made an airfoil for the wing section.I have fitted it to the wing halves and marked areas that would have to be drilled or removed.

 

[Wayne Little]

Excellent!

 

[Wurger]

Thank you my friend.

 

[Airframes]

Very neat ! How did you get the correct profile Wojtek, with a profile gauge, or ?
