Ojimak Planes in Any Scale

[papermate]

Yes, you're right. The two seater is a trainer and appears to be smaller when I downscaled it to 1/200. However, I enlarged to be in line with the single-seater Crusader. So when you look at my previous post/thread on the F8, they look similar in size. Maybe some experts can advise.

Thanks papermate. I'll experiment with different reduction factors.

Ojimak left Yahoo Geocities Japan some time ago. Here is the new url: Let's Fly Paper Plane!

ETA: He also has some model up at the JASF website: Ojimak models at the JASDF website

This plane is the FMA IA 58 Pucara by Mr Ojimak, originally at flyable at 1/60 scale.
I have made it into a display model with landing gears and spinning props according to
pictures that I found on Google. Now it is reduced to 1/200 with some modifications to
make air foils for the wings and remake the fuselage.

Very good job, the Pucara was perfect!

As always, I am amazed at your building skills!

Unknowingly, I have been posting Ojimak's model planes on Cafe's "Ojimak" thread for quite some time, which in a way was hijacking Cafe's thread. Sorry about that.

When I requested to build Ojimak's space shuttle, I have suddenly realized what I described in the foregoing paragraph. Coincidentally, Ojimak's space shuttle is scaled at 1/250, which is close enough to fit in MY own Ojimak's thread. So, here we are.

Instead of the original design of the faceted rocket for the shuttle, I modified it a bit to look more circular. Other than this, everything is built as designed.

The space shuttle is flyable as somewhat like a glider. This is something rare to expect -- a flyable shuttle model! The rocket and fuel tank unit is also equipped with launchers for hand-throwing or sling-launching. But I don't think it will fly like a plane. It looks just as nice as a static model with the shuttle being detachable for flying.

P.S. Would Admin be kind enough to change the title of this thread to "Ojimak Planes in Any Scale"?
