Ahhhh... Martin that is really unfortunate for you and your wonderful Aviatic. So sad to see it expire way way way ahead of its time. I certainly feel bad for you - it really hurts after all the time...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

TFF that's quite the video clip, wow very lucky indeed.


Thanks guys, I understand how it works now. With the Morane Saulnier it is a partial cowl - the cable does not fit into a groove,...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

Nothing worth posting yet on the Hotchkiss. However, in preparation for next steps I need some help from you all out there with the aluminum cowl for this plane, so please chime in with your...

RE: Best 1/4 Scale Lewis Gun Kit?

Absolutely fantastic - I love the detail!
Really neat trick with the glass. It's nice when things work out so well. BTW what is this finishing resin to fill in the gaps that you use? Is it just...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

Work continues on the Hotchkiss (in spite of distractions) but it seems to be going ever so slow. There's a lot of finnicky detail to this MG and messing around with different materials to try to get...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

Standards...scale detail... if you insist - just look back at the post again, but you know, it's kind of like looking at the sun - if you stare at it too long you'll go blind :)

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

Continuing with the Hotchkiss LMG – all the little pieces/components that make up the upper barrel are connected and joined to the lower section with the small spacer fittings glued in place. The...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

LMAO - :D good one!


I like to think they add a little 'Je ne sais quois' to the build, however since you've played your card this so very early on in the game, and called the hand...

RE: EIII Restoration

Well I'm happy that it turned out to be somewhat of a better day for you, at least engine problems are fixed - they can be so very frustrating!

Hopefully March will bring you good engine starts...

RE: Best 1/4 Scale Lewis Gun Kit?

Not sure what plane that was, just found the pic while reading about Zeppelin hunting on the web. It would make a rather unique scale model subject if you could do the pilot/gunner up nicely! There...

Yep, I hear you - this can be a real benefit and bane to this hobby can't it? I'm spending hundreds of hours on my Morane Saulnier designed totally from scratch. I hope it flies, gulp! At least I...

RE: EIII Restoration

I highly doubt that in this particular nose heavy situation - you should be fine.
I'd bet your CG is at the very front of its range, maybe even a little forward of the front CG point, and certainly...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

I’ve begun work on the Hotchkiss light machine gun. MGs have such a prominent position on most WWI planes that along with cockpits they become one of several key focal points on a model. I've seen...

RE: EIII Restoration

No, not at all. I'm always worrying with a new plane that something isn't right. I'm not that great a flier by any chance, so I try to set things in my favour as much as possible.

RE: EIII Restoration

It sounds like it's too nose heavy - you kept the decalage and engine thrust line the same as the BUSA plans - a proven design, and the all up weight is similar to original, so this seems like a CG...

Congrats! Glad it worked out fairly well for you. Those are some great shots of the model taxiing and in the air, it looks really good!
Too bad the landing gear gave in on the rough landing. Can...

RE: 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier Type N French Scout

But that makes perfect sence though, doesn't it? The cockpit really only needs to be scale looking from scale lines of sight. As you well know, and as I am discovering as this is my first scale...
