Hello friends,

@rata, thank you for your kind words.

Here are two of us (@Beatles).

Hello friends,

some progress to report: two missiles and four torpedos are ready.

In pic 1 you can see some versions of colouring the domes: left hand without colouring, middle colouring only the edges of cutting with aquarelle pencile and right hand overall colouring with (acrylic Revell). The picture doesn't show it, what I like: white is not white, so you can see the colouring and I decided me against this.

In pic 2 you see the torpedo-propellor. In pic 3 you see all the details are lost, because of the screw-hull. But nevermind, the screw is there (pic 4).

In pic 5 you can see the bundle of weapons.

Hello friends,
as a not native speaker in english, I should be cautious making a joke, I can fail...
Nevertheless I give it a try (and nevertheless as it doesn't fail, it could be simply a bad (not working) joke, dammed how complicated life can be!):
I worked with a very high speed (near light speed) and so the phenomenon of stretching in time becomes true. Now I'm back into the forum with normal speed in reading and writing and all the others seems to be aged (minimum one year) more then I.
The reason for my high speed working was a hinge of a main wing got broken. I repaired it, but that wasn't fun for me...
But now (before the other hinges get broken) I send some pics of the plane: pic 1 - 4 unfolded, pic 5 - 8 folded.
The white stripes on the first pics are protecting hulls for the hinges, but they don't helped every time as I described before.

This is working out very well. the wing folding details are fantastic.

Hello friends,


now the viking is standing on his own "legs".

@CMDRTED, thank you for appreciating my work.

It looks great. I have enjoyed following your progress on this model.

Now some progress, with mounted engines, wheels, and some weaponry. The folded geometry has some aberrations, but we can all three hinges intact at the same time (how long, paper is stressed a lot in that usage).

Really looks great!

Excellent work! Good to see it cross the finish line.

Good work. Congratulations on those wing hinges. Think I would have gave up and glued them either open or closed.
