bughunter Thank very much for your nice comments - highly appreciated!
Now the build is hold for some days, due to the famous Mosonshow. My first visit there. CU!
Today I saw the film "Wunderland" in the cinema. It's a about the creators of the famous and huge model railway system "Wunderland" in Hamburg. It's different from all the TV documentaries and I can recommend it, even if the modelling is a bit different from ours. tobis.de/titel/wunde..traum-zum-welterfolg

Kyle DeHart A beautiful result Frank, notwithstanding any mishaps you might have had. I love the uniqueness of this monoplane. And the markings are clean and lovely as well. Best of luck at the show!!

bughunter Thank you very much mates! Your feedback is highly appreciated 👍
I would especially like to thank Ethan for his help with references!
And I hope that many mates will visit the Euro Model Expo next weekend: there you can see this model with your own eyes (at booth 118).
bughunter Thank you Rick and Alec!
Dick, I must admit that it would be much more complicated to photograph your giant birds in this way! 😉

bughunter In meantime I got a wonderful feedback from LukGraph 👍
And yes, LukGraph mentioned, that this is a difficult kit! So I suggest that if you want to build your first biplane, you should choose a different topic!

bughunter Of course the mentioned Activity only help, after one mate detected a new Spammer or Fake profile.
But this helps to get rid of them (after some more mates confirms) once he was detected.

Christoph Kunz I only have "Discussions / Reviews / Community activities" under Activity, but no "Spam reports". Somebody can explain me why?
18 February, 19:10
bughunter That comes only into the list, if there is at least one spammer reported and wait for votes. If the spammer is kicked with enough votes the list entry is gone.
It is the same principle as with other filterings here - a empty element is not shown (e.g. if you filter for "Propeller" in "Category", the only "Aircraft" is displayed in "Group" as all other entries has 0 elements.
BTW: this album is used to explain my reports in "Feature requests". Many of them are fixed, so maybe I should delete those pics.
bughunter That was not my last project of an aircraft made by the Halberstädter Flugzeugwerke! More to follow on day and I hope that many of you follow again the journey.

Kyle DeHart You know I'll be there to watch. Come find me if I'm missing. Ha!!
Lochsa River Bigger photos? New photos at a larger size or replacements of the originals with higher resolution versions?
I am looking to try and find out what the largest size SCM supports natively without compression so I will upload at that setting for speed and website surfing.
7 February, 12:04
bughunter Wow, thank you mates for your wonderful comments!
Lochsa, I replaced the pictures by the identical one in identical order, only with higher resolution. I noticed that I have made higher resolution pictures for the Eduard Info journal last year (Eduard requested a higher resolution), so I uploaded them here too.
The new default size is now 2160 x 1440 pixels (3:2 format), with that size you avoid a black border. This was discussed a while ago in feature requests (see SCM Newsfeed ) as Scalemates is prepared for higher resolution screens. I think there are smaller pictures delivered to mobile devices (automatically done). If you use smaller size you get a warning in "Manage" album as the Teaser button will be red and not green.
Yes, that information should go into the FAQ.
I would like to replace at least the final album of my older projects by better photos. I still have the original pictures so this is possible, but that's a lot of effort editing all the images again.
bughunter Thank you very much! Your feedback is highly appreciated!
@Robert Now I need to ask Tim fro a red face smiley!
@Jens Good to see you after a while!
It is not possible to comment below a brand or magazine, so here a information for the German readers:
The publishing house that published the "Flieger-Revue" filed for insolvency on January 16, 2024. scalemates.com/press/magazine.php?id=262
I canceled my subscription a few months ago due to unreliable deliveries.
Bernhard Schrock Great! Using of Gaspatch make the difference! Leading edges of the prop made of bare metal foil? Würde ich gerne live sehen… Nimm sie bitte bitte mit nach Lingen 2024. 🙂🙂🙂

bughunter Thanks mates!
No, the brass on the propeller is painted with Alclad, see here: A little Piper | Album by bughunter (1:48)
I will have all the latest models and some of the older ones with me in Lingen for sure.

bughunter Fat mistake: the air screw turns the wrong way round! Always check your references.
bughunter Thank you Alex and Nicolas!
Yes, many details are better shown on the macro pictures of the building log than on the pictures of the finished model.
Mainstream The beer is ice cold and an I ordered an extra large bag of popcorn, let the show begin!
The DDr.I from SSW is one of the most interesting subjects of its era.
18 November 2023, 20:37
bughunter Thank you for your interest! I will try to finish other started projects before, but this will come for sure!
I got already 3D printed engines for it 😉
bughunter Where are the build logs?
There is a nice kit from Special Hobby for more then a year on the market, now in three variants, but there is not a single build log here?!?
I need to change that!
Martin Oostrom 😂
If you want a Tamiya with double wings, they do offer a Swordfish
22 September 2023, 18:25
bughunter No, that one will be _much_ faster! 👀 I have the kit already (but not added it to my stash here 😛) Some accessories and paints needs to be ordered before I can start.
We have now four manufacturers of 3D printed cockpit "decals": Quinta Studio, Space by Eduard, Kelik and Red Fox. May be I forgot one?
Which one produces the best representation in terms of sharpness, colors and 3D effect (or other criteria)?
2 19 May 2023, 19:12
bughunter There is another one I missed in the list: Babibi model
Are there any experiences?
22 May 2023, 07:05
bughunter Another criteria would be the flexibility. Some are hard and brittle, others very flexible.
Are there any comparison reviews?
26 May 2023, 15:38
bughunter Hmm, hard to find reviews about this!
Here I found a picture about the F-35 cockpit for Tamiya.
Redfox: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-C..redfox_48140_07.webp
Eduard Space: [img1]
Is Quinta better or use they all the same printer type?
bughunter Thank you mates - glad that you like it!
4 September 2023, 21:21
bughunter It is an older model, but due to all the recent interest and the new likes I replaced all pictures by identical one, but much bigger size according to the new rules. As this shows much more detail it was worth the effort.
I really like pic 17 because it dhows the crazy rigging 🙂
