BMW R75 with sidecar ESCI in 1/9 scale

[Rokket]

WOW! WOW! WIW! I saved  few pix, some beauties in there!

I've been inside a B-17 and B-24, and up close to a P-51, but that was an embarrassment of riches as theysay! And flying! Wow!

Thanks for sharing that - I know you must have had a great time.

[Mr.Mox]

Cheers/Jan

Hi Siara,

Great photos! Three B-25s in a row - fantastic. Also two Fw190s. Are they the Flugwerk new builds? Good to see the Gladiator and Lysander flying together.

How is the Beaufighter restoration coming along? Is it on public view or somewhere away from prying eyes?

Good work on the BMW too.

Cheers,

Dougie

Last time i have seen the Beau she was just the sad looking frame, but now all the fuselage is done, and shes awaiting engine fitout. Looks like the job is nearly done.
The workshop is open to the public, and everyone can see whats being restored at the moment.
Theres the P 47 Thunerbolt razorback in the works too, amongst other stuff.

Thanks Michael.
Yes- this is the PzKpfw.I / Opel Maultier  (ATL-20) white metal tracks by Friul. Excellent stuff if you ask me. I enjoyed every minute of putting them together. Than again- thats me. I like that kinda stuff, even though it means spending few evenings with mini forceps in one hand and magnifying glass in the other.

I have sorted the heads out. The heads used are from Hornet, and so is the urinating soldier.
Im thinking of adding some russian accent, which will be urinated upon, but im struggling with the ideas at the moment.




Hope you like.

What's that PE in the handrail center? (LOVE that running board with diamond late)

[Siara]

Wink- the PE on the rail is from Aber, and it is a gun rack. Soldiers sometimes locked the guns there in transit- if equiped with long Kar.

I like the running boards with antislip surface too. Im impressed with the stuff really.

Windscreen bashing.

[Rokket]

tell us more about that windscreeen

[Siara]

tell us more about that windscreeen

Like what?
 I used the Aber PE, but the original kit glass wasnt big enough to be sandwiched inbetween the PE parts, so i cut the bit of Fanta bottle, straightened it using my wifes hairdrier (inustrial strength  ).
Theres still few bits missing like wipers, wiper motors, bolts, and wingnuts. All the small detail will be glued in just before the painting process.
The reason i left all the small bits for laters is, that im still making lot of adaptions to get the model looking the way i see it in my head.
At the mo im killing my ayesight building the hood frame. I got most figured out. Few more frames, and i can stretch some canvas.

You had BETTER include the bugs smashed into the windscreen, or it won't be 100%!!!

Woe, a soda bottle, I had no idea you could do that! Next time, this may or may nit be good, but consider a comb-binding cover - clear, thin, pretty good stuff. A photocopy/digital printer sells them.

This is really a very cool project (like all of your projects).
