Bernhard SchrockMr. Master Wirebender! All looks correct especially ignition wires with correct thickness. Watching for more!

Bernhard SchrockNice progress. A lot to do because the are 3 workstations? Brass tube as choke?
P.S. Wie hat mal Spliff gesungen: "da fliegt mir ja das Blech weg". Hoffentlich nicht aber ausm Cockpit🙂

Bernhard SchrockExcellent cockpit: IMO very good kind of "weathering" the seats. Less is in this case the more. ?

Björn SvedbergDefinitely following this build! Great work with all of the additions! 👍

Thomas Bischofflove this attention to details and the used look is spot on for me 👍

Bernhard SchrockPicture32: what a great effect and difference to the kit parts. Chapeau!

Bernhard SchrockErst jetzt sehe ich dass du die Kontakt Bleche aus einer Steckerleiste verwendet hast. ?

Hanno KleineckeThank you Christian and Bughunter, welcome aboard !🙂 AMS = Addictive modelbuilding Syndrom ? 🙂 🙂 🙂

bughunterNearly, I know it as Advanced Modeling Syndrome 😉
Incurable and - on platforms like this - highly contagious!
18 June 2021, 12:19
Hanno Kleinecke@ Bughunter: I see, superspreading ! 🙂 😉
@ Jonn, thanks for the encouragement, but this time I have, I'm afraid........

Christian BruerHanno, you are raising the bar a bit higher with this WIP. Very very good work so far.
About the wing fold mechanism, don't give up! You will find a way to deal with it. I found this in Hyper Scale Forum, may it help to find a proper solution.

Hanno KleineckeWow Christian, what a find ! That are by far the best pictures I've seen of the wing folding mechanism, thanks a lot, now I have no excuse anymore…… 🙂
Thank you !
19 June 2021, 16:57
Christian BruerFor sure no excuse, because we never give up 😄
You're most welcome Hanno. A pleasure to help, also a reason to be here on Scalemates 🙂

Hanno KleineckeFinally capitulated on the folding wing idea, exceeds my skills by far, not enough room for hinges in a realistic depiction. Instead: one wing folded, the other one expanded. Some progress on cowling details.

Hanno KleineckeAluminum dope, blue and yellow on, clearpartmasks off - closing in for the finishing line !

David R. MeizosoI admire your precission work with the engine wiring, and the cockpit looks fabulous too. I'm intrigued about that "toast" method for canopies. Do you heat the plastic in a bread toaster to conform it?
10 August 2021, 20:20
Hanno KleineckeThank you David, yes indeed, I use a toaster to heat the clear plastic material I hold between two pliers until it softens and slightly slacks, and then pull it over the original part I intend to replicate. After cooling, you can then cut off all the excess . The parts you get might be slightly oversized, as you use the outside shape as template for replication, but in most cases it makes no noticable difference.

Bernhard SchrockYellow and blue looks very promising. Hoch soll der Toaster leben, drei mal hoch!🙂
11 August 2021, 07:04
Slavo HazuchaBlooming up in those vibrant colors 👍 Nice job on the glasshouse pieces too!
11 August 2021, 08:29
David R. MeizosoHaha, never thought of a toaster in that way! Thanks for the explanation, I'll put it into practice!
11 August 2021, 12:14
Hanno Kleinecke🙂 you're welcome David, I learned that myself from Bernhard Schrock, very quick and easy way of getting
thin spare clearparts

Robert PodkońskiFantastic! I simply love these yellow winged machines... And the model itself looks great - ypu are the master of superdetailing, Hanno!
11 August 2021, 17:23
Christian BruerExcellent progress Hanno 👍
About the self made canopies, what kind of material and material thickness do you use for them?
Happy Modelling, Christian
12 August 2021, 19:46
Hanno KleineckeThank you Cristian, It's a kind of „upcycling" of transparent packaging material, that has already once been deepdrawn into shape (see picture# 50 in the album) .
Thickness in this case is 0,22 mm.
12 August 2021, 21:11
Christian BruerYou're most weclome Hanno and thank you for the hint about the packaging material.
12 August 2021, 21:15
Hanno KleineckeThank you Rui, Bughunter and Robert, just a few little touchups and some details and she will be finished.
Last 50 meters !

Slavo HazuchaFantastic result - perfect balance of all details, top paint-job and I really like how the thin canopy adds scale-impression - combined with the absence of significant weathering, it does not look like a model at all, but really like a well-maintained real airplane 👍
@John - I was not sure: salute or facepalm? 😄 in any case, an excellent way to show the folded wing structure!
31 August 2021, 15:56
Jensjust madness and then Yellow Wing, the most beautiful version of US Navy livery ever, ingeniously made 👍 👍 👍
31 August 2021, 18:57
JohnExcellent build. I have recently added this kit to my stash and can see it is a big improvement over the old Monogram kit.
31 August 2021, 19:27
JohnHanno - can you further explain what you did with the canopy? From what I have heard about this kit is that the canopy sections will not stack properly, so it makes having an open canopy nearly impossible. Is this what you also discovered?
1 September 2021, 00:18
Hanno KleineckeThanks Mates !
@ John - that is exactly what I found, so I made alternate parts as described earlier on int his thread ( toaster-method), using packaging material shown in pic#47.
I recommend shortening the bottom of the fire extinguisher mounted between the bombardier's and gunner's seat, to make sure that the two moving parts can be stowed completely underneath the fixed part of the canopy.

Bernhard SchrockFew days ago I had by chance to see this Yellowwing live. Excellent result! Chapeau!
3 September 2021, 04:55
Hanno KleineckeMany thanks for all your comments and likes mates, much appreciated ! 🙂
6 September 2021, 06:04
Hanno KleineckeThank you Neuling,Eric,Mirko, Bernhard and Christian, I'm pleased that you like my yellowwinged bird !
6 September 2021, 21:15
bughunterThat private Airstrip/hangar has seen a lot of great models, now including yours 👍
14 October 2021, 15:12
Zbynek HonzikAt first glance, I thought it looked like Bernhard's home airport. And this model, even though it's visiting, clearly belongs there in terms of quality. Beautiful work! 👏👏👏
11 March, 09:31
Hanno KleineckeThank you Carlos, Lochsa River, Clifford and Zbynek, I feel flattered ! (🙂)
