Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
0.08mm Maxima fishing line.. scales up to 5.75mm, which seems about right? I used to attach the threads to the upper wing, this is my first attempt with drilling all the way through that wing.. we'll see how the cleanup looks (metal finish=no place to hide)
Is this your sanderling?.

Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
Looking through these pics I know those 1/144th kits have certainly gone to a good home. Superb builds. I tried guessing what the SE5A would be finished as, I thought one of the aerial signwriting aircraft but was wrong (as usual )
All the best.

Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
I'm actually in the process of rigging one of the tiny Hanriots and the other is painted. I'll get some pics up shortly

They're a steep learning curve: load bearing PE is no joke! Getting there, though.Gregers wrote:Looking forward to seeing those mate. I hope you are enjoying the builds.

Meanwhile, the wiring is done on the SE5a wings (aside from the flying wires at the front, need to attach them to the UC legs)
Need to go and get some new blades for my x-acto before I finish the trimming and tidying.

That's taking shape very nicely. Patience is the watchword with any biplane.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
That looks superb mate. Very well done. Especially considering the tiny size of the model.
All the best.

Just wait till I have to get the double flying wires lined up.. the very air will turn blue.

Nice work

Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
Thanks mate.. the Revell kit is typically basic, but fits well and generally behaves.

Re: Arc's Aircraft Repository
and onwards. I seem to have mislaid the rudder for my Pegasus Phonix... so nothing for it but to start a new Pegasus (wait, whut?)
It's nice, by Pegasus standards.. not too much flash and the fit isn't horrible at all.. the white metal engine is very nice.
Got some work done on t'interior

The Albert Ross is shaping up to be every bit as good as the SE5
