Bernhard SchrockHey, herzlich willkommen als Gast: ist leider alle aber ich kann dir zum gleichen Preis Saltimbocca mit Rosmarin Kartoffeln anbieten. Ist es auch o. k.? Übrigens habe ich die Stranraer überlebt: danach hast du vor gar nichts mehr Angst🙂.

Holger KranichOk? Das ist sehr gut! Und Du hast Recht - Wer die Stranrear schafft, kann auch allein die Gorch Fock segeln. !😉

Martin OostromI should have known you'd build it someday. She's got yellow wings!

Bernhard SchrockThe spruces are molded in yellow and in my opinion it's the most awful color for the plastic except maybe white. Every time I ask myself why? Revell should know they are selling modeling kits and not toys. Because of that I sprayed first a base coat of yellowish grey (3/4 light grey semimatt and 1/4 yellow matt).

Hanno KleineckeIch nehm' die Kalbshaxe Florida a'la Bérnard 😄 ! Passt auch gut zum Gelb.....
Great detailwork on the elevator hinges
What made the two white stripes on the cowl necessary, filling some channels ?

Bernhard SchrockYou are welcome: today we offer a three course Menu and recommended Chateau Modellier 2018🙂
THX for your nice comments Mates! Great happiness: three hours later and the base coat is dry (old Humbrols!!!).
Hanno: the white stripes are restored reinforcement of the panels. Unfortunately the fit was not the best and it was impossible to save the raised edges of the panels.

Bernhard SchrockYesterday I introduced a new painting philosophy: paint first and then look in the instructions sheet if it is correct. Unfortunately it doesn't work🙁 🙂 I airbrushed both sides of the upper wing instead of the upper side of the upper wing. I intend to leave this as it is because in my opinion it's impossible to remove the red paint without a mess.

Marcel KlemmerWho needs instruction sheets? 🙂 In addition they are blocking the creativity...fantastic result so far.

bughunterGreat solution with the struts! What do you use for the etched nickel silver struts? RB Production?

Bernhard SchrockThx Mates. I'm happy to hear that you like my Yellowwing🙂. The wiring are from BS&TG models🙂. Thomas Gatermann and I created the sheet about 2003 or so. After building Tamiya Swordfish I asked myself for an solution for other biplanes and created self an artwork with different sizes and lengths. Thomas Gatermann managed the etching task. See for my SBC and Stranraer: in both cases I use my own wiring. In the Stran Album the first picture show the etched sheet.

Bernhard SchrockThe propeller tries to look like it is made of wood🙂 (a little bit of brown paint and fine brush). By the way; thank you for feedback.

Ben MVery very very nice. Watching. I always loved Steadman trainers too, lots at airshows when I was a kid.
28 November 2018, 22:04
Ben MYou should teach a workshop on painting propellers. I would seriously take it.

Bernhard SchrockOne of the most difficult tasks on "modern" biplanes are the spread bars because all flat wires pass THROUGH the spreadbars

Jean Pierre CULIS-FERYThe correct french expression when you see a build with this quality is:"Demain, je me remets au macramé!", i made a fantastic job and thank you for the explanations, i will try to use it.

Vitor CostaAmazing work! The rigging... wow! Perfectly done! Everything done by you right (the rigging parts)?

Bernhard PetheI would like to get in there and start in the air. Very nice. 👍

Hanno KleineckeBeautiful yellow bird ! Masterly and delicate detailing, excellent result

Bernhard SchrockHi mates. Yesterday I enjoyed my finished bird and today enjoy your comments🙂.
Vitor: yes, the rigging is half my work (artwork, the other half / etching was done by Thomas Gatermann).
Bernhard: would you like to sit in the front or in the back?
2 December 2018, 18:49
Bernhard PetheBernhard: I sat in front one time. But no matter, it is a nice experience to fly with such a biplane over the land. 🙂
