Dear Leif:
Now the camera will not interface with my computer I have been taking pictures will have to go and get the flashcard put on a disk then I will post pictures of the build, fun so far the cut out frame and thread wires look good. I have cut out of the second print of page 2 the bottom most pedals and but glued them together inside out to glue inside to give a plywood floor look to the cockpit.
I went to the local gliderport 12 miles away, took pictures of tiedown points and a glider that looks like a later bigger version of the inka. What does the seatbelts look like Historicly? the ones in the modern glider are 5 point hitch bright blue.
Now are youse guys{south Buffalo slang} going to tell me that in the 1930's they flew with out seatbelts?????
I just got to add something to the seat, too plane.
Thanks for letting me do this and come up with odd questions,
MILES
After looking at the grass field gliderport and seeing that the model printed at 1/24 scale, I looked up the cannon site and they have a Mercedes Benz 500K also in 1/24 scale wonder if historicaly some one in eastern Europe would have driven to the glider field and parked next to the glider, Diarama time I think

Miles, I think that I still have a USB card reader thingy that I no longer use. Let me know if that would help you with your photo card problem. If so I could mail it to you in a padded envelope or small package for cheap.

Nah, they had seatbelts. Mostly. I think the most common ones were either simple, wide waist girder belts, or the usual four-piece ones with two additional belts over the shoulders. But that's guesswork on my hand.




Definitely not light blue nylon, though - more like dirty beige. You know, natural fibres. The black ones here are modern, of course.

Miles, I just noticed that in an earlier post I answered totally on a tangent. This is the Inka thread, after all, and you are most welcome to continue posting here. Honored, in fact. (I must have thought that you were writing in a thread of your own; sorry if I contributed to any confusion). - L.

Wonderful! I'm sure Mitja Sersen Erman will be happy to see them; I certainly am.

I make them larger; you make them smaller; where shall we finally meet...

You did perhaps paint the ply sections a bit - is that a correct perception? - L.

Yes , it is correct.
The 1:72 was perfect but I was not happy with the fuselage seams of the 1/200 model. So , I brushed a chesnut ink (not paint) from Citadel on it.
Then , I brushed the same ink on the 1:72 model , to give it the same look and also because I was pleased with the color.
