Hanno Kleinecke
Hihihi genau ! 🙂 Schrocksches Gesetz 🙂 🙂 In diesem Fall aber mit Plastikkleber wg. der
Positionierbarkeit, geht auch !

Norbert Steffens
I'm in. Looks good so far. How is the kit?

Hanno Kleinecke
Welcome and thanks Norbert, no real issues so far, let's see how the fit of floats/wings/fuselage turns out to be.....

Hanno Kleinecke
Today I was able to finish the Napier Lion VII engine. I think I will display it outside of the aircraft as it would be a waste to let it disappear
under the cowling.

Bernhard Schrock
Sehr schön! Wäre schade den Motor zu verstecken. Feiner Bleidraht?

Hanno Kleinecke
Danke Dir ! Jo, 0,3 mm

bughunter
Very nice! The racing machines on floats are very interesting. I still have a Gloster (WMM) in stash ...

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Bughunter, I hope I'll get to see that build some day !

Gordon Sørensen
Great detailing on the engine, Hanno! It definitely should be displayed outside the aircraft.

Slavo Hazucha
If I could time travel, I´ll surely go see these in action...

Beautiful modeling, watching! 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Gordon and Slavo ! 🙂 Some small progress

Hanno Kleinecke
Not the best fit, I had to fit quite an amount of styrene profile into the fuselage joint. Installation of the cowling will be a challenge too.....

Thomas Bischoff
A lot of work for a beautiful plane 👍

bughunter
Good idea to display your nicely detailed engine outside of aircraft. Would some sprue help spread the fairing open?

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx Thomas and Bughunter !
@ Bughunter: A good idea that I didn't have.... I'll bear that in mind for next time I encounter a similar problem. This time I glued with CA under tension provided by a wooden stick inserted through the front
opening. Came out ok too. I'll post a picture later on 🙂

bughunter
It starts to look like on the kit box - so beautiful! To built all racers used on a Schneider Trophy would create a nice model collection, have only the winner of 1914 until now: Sopwith Schneider Monaco Racer 1914 | Album by bughunter (1:48)

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Bughunter ! Slowly getting there..... although I was letting myself getting fooled by the instructions : The canopy in reality was silver and not blue.... this will have to be fixed according to my references. Your Sopwith 1914 winner looks just fab with its winner's buquets and floats, that are made of real wood for sure

Spanjaard
beautiful details added

Bernhard Schrock
Clear part looks superb. Made by Toastering-Technology?🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Bernhard and Spanjard ! @ Bernhard : A lot simpler, 0,13mm clear Evergreen sheet folded into shape 🙂 siehe Bild 27

Hanno Kleinecke
Rigging done, decals done. All that's left is the engine stand and a cart for her to be launched from. Well - tomorrow is another day.......

Smelly Cheetos
Love the look! Looks really clean.

bughunter
Dynamic float painting 👍 I like your result! Will be a great pleasure to see the final pictures.

Spanjaard
Looks great!

Slavo Hazucha
It looks absolutely fantastic - what a great chapter of aviation - always pleased to see one of these, especially when done so well 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you very much mates ! Slavo, yes, those were the days, a lot of these racerbirds look like art deco sculptures to me

Neuling
Top build! Waiting for the water ............

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx Neuling ! Water depiction is way outside my skill-envelope I'm afraid...... a two wheeled cart is as far as it goes........🙂

Rui S
Lovely model 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Fertig! Sehr schön. Die Verspannung ist sehr gelungen und hängt nicht durch🙂. Chapeau.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx Rui + Bernhard !
@Bernhard: Von innen nach außen hat gut geklappt, die Profile sind klasse !

Bernhard Schrock
👍

Lochsa River
Great job....The kit has some fit issues and you really filled the gaps....just a solid, fun to look at result.

Bernhard Schrock
Completed! Nice to see you next finished project. Great work and great idea to leave the engine outside. 🙂

Slavo Hazucha
A set of a few nice final additions - a good reason to have a look at this beauty once again 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Lochsa_River, Bernhard and Slavo !🙂

bughunter
Very nice result 👍 I t was a joy to follow this project. The engine in its dark livre is not very prominent, will look very nice in real I'm sure.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you bughunter, my pleasure 🙂 You're right, the engine appears a little dark on this photos, it's nonspecular blue over a very flashy light blue which didn't quite turn out as I expected but I could'nt be bothered any more, so I left it as it was.
In reality it appears to be a bit lighter than in the pictures, so I can live with it.

Tom
Wonderful! 🙂

Robert Podkoński
I am very impressed, beautiful! (and thank you for sharing the WIP photos - I have one in my stash, but feel a bit reluctant now...🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Thomas and Robert, I'm pleased you like my racebird !
@Robert: Let me encourage you, nothing that you won't be able to master 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Hanno, for your confidence in my skills...maybe one day (at least I managed to finish AMP's Piaggio-Pegna PC7 some time ago...🙂 ) Once again, congrats for the model of one of the most beautiful planes ever!
