Default RE: Functional hardware fittings on scale models


Mustang,
Nice model! It's got that vintage look to it, even if it's not scale it looks like it could've flown sometime during the 1920's.
It would seem you've put a lot of work into it, any pics of it 'in the bones' would be appreciated I'm sure/
I'd also be interested in the specs.

I've bascially used the same scale airfoil that Art has on his big 1/3 E.I (a proven flyer)
To adapt it more to the E.III one I made the LE slightly thinner...I also included the rib cutouts (eyeballed from photos) to allow clearance for internal bracing. I'm sure there are small discrepancies but it's good enough for me

Anyway, here's the E.I airfoil Art kindly sent me.
I've also included a pic of my E.III wing (1/5 scale)
