@ Paúl - the kit is work-intensive but I am enjoying the build

Almost the entire wing leading and trailing edges have movable surfaces, which are modeled separately. Thus, the main wing skin parts only cover a fraction of the surface.
The leading edge, particularly near the wing tip, has a very small curvature radius. It is tricky to achieve and half cutting to model the angle just below the leading edge is not a good idea because the paper would delaminate in the curved section. The slats can be assembled in the extended position and that’s what I intend to do.

Holy Buckets...more amazement. You should add some electrics and make the slats etc. move! THEN I'd be impressed...


Just sublime modeling. Thanks for posting.


OH! One question I had for an artist such as yourself. I am having difficulty making a neat, clean rolling fold for the leading edges that go around tight rib tip forms on my wings. They look ok, but tend to be bumpy and don't really follow the contour all that well. How do YOU do it? I do try and pre-fold but it just doesn't look like yours!



Again, lovely work........Dan

@ Tonino - I have several in stock, just in case
@ Dan - I acknowledge that those curved leading edges are not easy to achieve. As you know, most paper kinds have strong orthotropic properties. Sometimes, the parts are printed on the direction that eases the shaping task but publishers seem to be unaware that they can make our life easier, at virtually no cost. Depending on the part length, I use either a steel rod or a desk edge to get the curvature. If the radius is really small, a close succession of edges makes the paper a bit loose and end up blending into a decent curve. I have already tried to moisture the paper but that method is definitely not to my taste. Well, in many cases, delaminating the paper makes rolling much easier but I try to do it only on small parts.

The engine nacelles fit well on the wing structure. I fixed the landing gear with the usual bent wires. So, there is no need to rely on small gluing surfaces that would take a substantial load.

Gear and bays are great. This is taking the shape of the 262 now, looks beautiful

Wow...a thing of beauty! Thanks for the leading edge ideas. I need to practice with the desk edge idea. I too have had issues with wetting things. It works for hard edges on radios etc. but I've damaged things on airframe surface curves...


Thanks again, Ricardo. Can't wait to see this one done! So close now.

Dan

Thanks, Dan and Glen When a sharp edge is needed, I almost always use half-cutting.

The skin parts that link the wing upper surface to the engine nacelles take a lot of work to shape. It is almost necessary to torture the paper in order to get a reasonable amount of double curvature. As you know, it is a risky process, as the paper can fail almost with no warning. I got the feeling that the two smaller parts could be drawn as a single one, sparing a joint.
At the rear, it was problematic! In principle, there should be a single part on each side but the kit provides two pairs. The parts are to short and I used both, slightly misaligned, in order to cover the whole gap. The last picture shows well the dirty trick. As there is left/right symmetry and the misalignment is rather uniform, the end result is not so bad. But I guess Halinski didn’t envisage the assembly this way…

The wings to fuselage fairings are ok on the upper surfaces. Below, it would be good if the rear parts were both slightly longer and broader. They hardly cover the black lines that define their emplacement.
