Ikarus IK2 (1938) 1/33

[matt77]

I started assembling the IK2, Ikarus IK2 - 1/33.



I wanted to start from the cockpit (I have not found photos on this).



I have to darken and contrast the side panels on the drawings.....



The attack of the upper belts is on the ribs of the adjacent piece.

Nice cockpit Matt! The darkening and contrast you added really makes the side panels pop.

These are the drawings of the fuselage with the system of "closed boxes".
This system allows to observe the whole parts of the aircraft, without having interruptions given from constructive cuts, typical of the system in "metamers"

[gomidefilho]

Very interesting! I hope is avaliable for sale. IK-2 and IK-3 is a missing rare planes...

Would be interesting to see your box method of construction.

[matt77]

Arrived at five-sixths of the construction of the fuselage, I can be satisfied fully for the experiment.



The errors were caused by the use of a card too often (200g / m), not considered in the design , and, my lack of skill of realization of model
