Re: Andrew's Heller Bu 133 Jungmeister
The first set of decals are on.
The black curves on the fuselage will be applied as decals (Tee hee! What a jolly jape ) and have been printed this afternoon and given a coat of sealant. I'm going to apply a second coat of sealant tonight.
cheers

It does look a nice little kit. You promoted me to visit ebay where I found one quite cheaply
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

It must count as a Classic French Kit. Just watch the three piece cowling. I have another one in the stash.TobyC wrote:It does look a nice little kit. You promoted me to visit ebay where I found one quite cheaply
Here we have the fuselage curves on. I think they are a bit skinny, so I may try and beef them up a bit.

Re: Andrew's Heller Bu 133 Jungmeister
I think you are right, Andrew -a bit more bulk needed in those stripes, but the shape looks good and the overall effect is terrific; it's a very pretty scheme.

So here we have the beefed up stripes
I used the spare set that I printed to double the width.
Much better!

Andrew, are you getting a kick back on promoting these Jungmeisters
Those beefy stripes are a lot better looking, its coming together great.

That was careless. Well, I'm going to leave them now. So there!

Re: Andrew's Heller Bu 133 Jungmeister
Admiration for this kit grows and grows. It's actually been engineered to be rigged. There are pre-moulded holes for some threads, and all of the struts have channels at the ends to run the rigging through.
It means that you can do all the rigging before putting on the top wing!
And that really makes it a simple aircraft to rig.
Doing the whole thing took me only 90 minutes.
To get the top wing on, I just put it upside down on the bench and then put the kit down over it to align the struts into the location points on the lower side of the upper wing.
By far the easiest full rigging job ever!

I must see if there are any other Heller biplanes are designed like this. Simple and effective.PaulBradley wrote:Huh, how about that?! Nice job!
