Francisco Maldonado Simões
Lovely work! This is a masterpiece! Do you have any contact with Marabu?
11 April 2016, 22:06
Vladimir Kafka
Francisco, I already replied to your question elsewhere - you can contact him on Modelforum.cz, nick MARABU. He is active there almost daily, as far as I can tell.

Francisco Maldonado Simões
Oh yes! It was you! Thanks!I have already registered there, i have sent him a message, got no reply! 🙁 Maybe they are out of business. It's a shame, they had good products!
Great work on the Swordfish!

Vladimir Kafka
Francisco, they are (or rather he is, as this is a one man show AFAIK) most definitely not out of business. What is that thing you need to know btw?
11 April 2016, 22:35
Vladimir Kafka
Oh and thanks everyone for all that praise.

Can anybody translate this please ?

David Thor
That doesn´t look like a 1:72 at all. Rather like a 1:48! Great work! 😄

Vladimir Kafka
Christian, curiosity killed the cat. In fact I was writing my friend about my current stomach flu😉

Christian Bruer
ah now we know - good and speedy recovery Vladimir! Ah and by the way - excellent, clean and sharp work on your Stringbag. Looks very life like! What do you use for rigging?

Cheers, Christian

Christian Meyerhoff
Thank`s a lot! Hope you are feeling better now! 🙂

Vladimir Kafka
thanks all!
Christian, thanks. 0,12 fishing line, painted with Agama alcohol gunmetal. Strings are threaded though holes in the top wing. Same method on all my biplanes except the Gladiator.

Christian Bruer
Thx Vladimir, I use it too on my ship models. Have you ever heard of Rigg that Thing? A monofilament in different sizes made by Uschi.
12 April 2016, 19:25
Christian Ristits
Just wow, what a piece of Art!

I have had the Tamiya 1:48 floatplane in my loft since the time it was launched and never built it, i did not think my modelling skills were ready to tackle it (why did i buy it?) this is inspiring me to get a ladder out and find it

MICHAEL WOODHOUSE
Brill and what you hope the end game is!
15 April 2016, 21:52
Kerry COX
Alistair, Have you got the PE "brace wires" for the 1/48 kit, ?, and I believe they are bought separately, made by Tamiya
15 April 2016, 21:58
Alistair Graham
Yes i have them also, but because they are PE they are 'flat'!
15 April 2016, 21:59
Alistair Graham
I must have had it somce my boys were about 13/15, so about 12/14 years old model
15 April 2016, 22:01
Kerry COX
The Rigging 'wires' from Uschi are the thing to use for the ultimate result for sure. 🙂
15 April 2016, 22:01
Alistair Graham
I recently bought the eduard Fokker Eindeker to ease me into rigging.
15 April 2016, 22:02
Kerry COX
Good choice. 👍
15 April 2016, 22:02
Alistair Graham
I was inspired by a recent magazine article of the 1/72 Airfix eindekker but my eyes suit the larger scale, lol
15 April 2016, 22:15
Kerry COX
You and me alike mate, but some 1/32 stuff is just too big. 🤔
15 April 2016, 22:43
Urban Gardini
Alistair, the PE brace wires from Tammy is indeed correct as they should be flat on the stringbag so you should use those instead of any other round thread/wire.
15 April 2016, 22:47
Kerry COX
They were "aerodynamically" engineered steel strips, as seen on all "Tiger Moths" 🙂
15 April 2016, 23:02
Burkhard D
Wonderful. Doesn't look like 1/72 at all. Superbly clean build and intricately detailed. 👍👍👍👍
