RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

The guns and shutes look outstanding...and they make a really interesting and unusual scale highlight on an already unusual model.

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Copious Kudos!!! Both the take-off and landing look smooth and graceful. Looks like you've got a winner here. Again.

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Both outstanding AND informative! Can't ask for more than that. ;) I like the way that you have the the rocker valves set in different positions...adds that extra dimension of realism.

Seth, the dummy engine looks very good! Where do you order your casting materials and what all is needed?

As always, another stellar WWI model! This one will be a joy to any and all who get to watch it fly!

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Ah, now I see it! I guess the problem is that I've never used that sort of ball and socket with the bolt through the ball. I was thinking of the small ball and plastic cup type and had somehow...

I've heard of that washer trick before, but somehow I just can't visualize it, despite having read and reread the text. Can someone post a photo?

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Very clever engineering! The true mark of a modeling guru is when you can build a "twisted" wing on purpose! :D

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Art's 2 cents sums up my perspective perfectly. I really do trust the original designers. Still, I'm definitely enjoying all of the clever design work you're doing Seth and am mentally filing away...

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving your build here and your design and construction skills are way beyond mine. And I certainly haven't yet built anything more scale than your models. Perhaps it's...

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

But I don't see this as an issue of aesthetics, particularly on a model this large. Features like the Wing span, cord width, elevator and rudder size, and that "droop" were all part of the original...

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

I know I'm old-fashioned and unrealistic, but the way I see scale modeling it's a not about where the pivot SHOULD be, but rather where it WAS.

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

I say that any of us scale modelers who can create these spectacular scale models can probably also manage a simple head sculpt! I thought of doing this myself and had found these to get my head...

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Each post is like a lesson in woodworking/mechanical engineering. I just have one question: Is there going to be a test at the end? [8D]

You;re getting almost the same "view per post" as my CI thread. I know I'm always over here pouring over the details of every photo you post. You have building skills I could only dream of.

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

I seem to remember a photo posted in one of the droop discussions, which showed that the carefully tapered spar was involved in the droop. That was probably over on the Aerodrome.

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

I just don't see the rationale for second guessing the Halberstadt engineers. If the wing incidence data (including droop and washout) are available, why not just use that? At 1/3 scale your model...

RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Oh, boy! I look forward to running out of superlatives...as always! :D

Here are my two yen worth on "trusting the original." While it's probably fool-hearty to use a completely scale airfoil...
