ME410 All the Way

You are awesome. I love this build.
And MP they are like flash suppressors on a rifle. At night you can see the blue flame for ever . I've flown in a circuit behind a Tracker on a dark night and its quite bright. The flame damper pretty well hides the exhaust.

isn't it ironic how the by far best build on a (mainly) tank modelling site is a plane build?

another awesome update of you chuk! thank you!

 

[Jenny Croft]

Well Chuck , if anyone would know about that stuff then Fritzi would ! Looks mighty fine , is paint going on now ?

Jenny :kiss:

 

[Mel]

Now I understand where all Jennys Fritzi pictures come from! You are an awesome artist, well if Hannah is Laura and Fritzi is Jenny where is me? :idonno

 

[Richard Marchand]

Has someone saw a lower jaw somewhere. Still looking for mine after having a good look at the latest updates.

That's some of the most masterful work I've seen in a long time. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

My thanks to all! Saul, I put pics of the books waaaay back in the first post! Check 'em out there. Moon, James' awesome description of exhaust flames at night is amazing- woot! You are adventurous, aren't you, James? Laura's too kind as usual, Jenny's spot on the mark , and Mel, Fritzi and Hannah only approximate the beauty and charisma of our dear friends. Perhaps a third character could enter scene- if even at a later build. One never knows, right, Richard?

A brief update, as I'm breaking, for me, new ground. My pressing off the kit canopy had some serious flaws, so I've decided to make a vacuform- using a female mold! We can trust Hauptmann Hannah to lead us down this perilous path, can't we?

Hi Chukw,

I did see that post and I also own the same books but you seem to see details I don't!
:laugh:

Great, no... FABULOUS work!

Regards,

Talk about a cliff hanger!!

 

[Jenny Croft]

Hmmm I hope you put the canopy back in your mould after you removed the clay ? :laugh:

Oh and for all you who do not think Hannah is "real" then how come she has a reflection in the mirror ? :pp :pp :pp :pp !!!!

Jenny :kiss:

Uuum! Vacuform, female mold and Hauptmann Hannah in the same sentence. You get all my attention :woohoo:

Ok, ok, heading for the naughty corner

Ouch. That hurts. Well a cure is a nice padded room and "I love me " suit.

And a flame damper disperses the hot gas literally hiding the flame. Its hard to shoot what you cant see and radar was in its infancy then.

Wierd, makes me wonder why all that energy had to be wasted out the exhaust rather than tweaking the engine to convert it into useful power...

Insanely good work Chuk. You make molding new parts look like business as usual!!!

[chukw]

Thanks, fellow plastikers! :woohoo:

Well, Casting- not so good. We have a new plan, and in the meantime, I finally painted the verdammt thing! Fritzi?

 

[Sharkmouth]

It's nice to have friends to call on when in a crunch.
