BV 138 Flying Clog

Sadly not James .

The 1 st photo actually shows the upper parts of the transporter on the right hand side but the important parts are cut out.

From some reading, I might be able to get more info from the DO 24T since their transporters were similar .

Thanks for the effort . Cheers, Christian B)
 
Based on someone else' model, but maybe this will help.

All the searching and first time I saw this. Too late I guess http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/b/Blohm%20Voss/BV%20138/bv%20138%20blohm%20und%20voss.html.
 
Sorry Chris, found some other stuff.

Sorry Chuck , I had no idea I would cause you any personal trauma :blush:

Looking at the 1/48 version posted at Hyperscale , it would involve a lot of work as well . Probably your type of build......I would follow it :good: .
Pretty pricey :coolio Maybe a good Christmas present :idonno

Cheers, Christian B)

I think this was a factory only James . Don't think it would ride very far on that . Thanks for the efforts everyone ! (y)

Cheers, Christian B)
 
While looking for things at Hobby lobby, I ran across this little miter box . Perfect for what I'm doing :good:

I then made up some cribbing pieces , glued and washed them with oils :frantic and voilas !

Here's a preview of how it will look.

Now , I'm off to having a mirror cut for the plaque :soldier

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Christian B)
 
That's a perfect quick solution- and nicely done to boot! That's an interesting mitre box as well- who's the manufacturer?

Beats trying to use a full size one :rotf

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Thanks Gator and Luiz the for the positive comments :Hiay


Finally , this epic battle has run it's course :v . Thanks for tagging along till the end :soldier

I know a lot of you like clean planes, so I warn you now. This is not one of them .

Well, I hope that at least some of you like it.

I tried to picture what a seaplane might look like if it was used hard late in the war.

I had no idea how to paint it but this is what ensued . :frantic

Now it's ready to go in another big box and go to the show . Wonder if any of them will like it.

Last time they only liked shinny things :sick:


A big thank you to everyone that helped me get through this build . You are many :D

Anyhow, I'm glad you tagged along all this way (y) Hope you like it.

Cheers, Christian B)
 
What a ride and great finish Chris!

I like it, like how you got a good clear demark at the water line, like it was painted while in the water or it had washed away.

Super job! :notworthy

Looking forward to seeing it Saturday.

Thanks James. I'm very happy with it myself but the camera did not capture but a small part of the streaks and smudges . It would probably need some close up shots .
I did not get along with the photo cube but couldn't get any descent shot on the work bench either . Need more space to work with this one.

I really like the forward fuselage....reminds me of a U boat . Probably would sink just as fast too.

Thank you for your help James. Cheers, Christian B)

Ps. Don't be so sure about that show . The majority will most likely be car guys. They only like shinny stuff.
Hopping more appropriate judges this time. :S
