OMG ~ Oh My Gott In Himmel !!

I cant take it no more !!! Ok Ok First of all : I assume a Scratch Turned Brass Engine Back/mounting plate !!! Where / how to you guys get to DO these things !!! It is absoluelty WUNDERBAR !! Sehr GuT !!! I want one for all my Roden Engines !!

Just when you thought that was something BAM !! You show us the Close ups of the Valve Springs OH MG !!! WOWOWOWO!!!! Those are TINY !! What in the world could you possible have used to wind around what kind of tiny diameter wire and cut them how to 1-2mm in length and HOW you could have carved out the rocker arm molding to fit them is INCREDABLE !!!

THis is the one kit i have managed to actually complete for my personal experience in hte last few years with small kids in the house. I not only love the plane, I love the kit ! I have no doubt it has been generaly ignored by the masses simply becuase it is not bearing a Major Kit manufactuering name. However I found it to be an ingenious hack of Roden Part moldings to re-create the EV out of thier DrI & DVI releases. I think the Kit comes together Very well and makes an Ecellent 32nd EV of which there are NO Other Kits in this Scale (BA Excepted are NOT complete kits)

It is a pure Pleasure to watch such a talented Expert builder such as your self Tackle this kit with an online photo essay LOVING IT !!! I am learning much my master !! I look forward to MORE !!

Yours MIke

Nice work...love the valve springs and push rods.

Is this kit as good as it looks to me?

Looks almost like an early Roden 1/32 kit in it's detail...the decals can be remedied as I read somewhere there are 1/32 Lozenge decals forthcoming.

I defiantly want one of these for the 1/32 stable...too good to pass up.
Anyone have a commentary on this model? thanks.

Yes there are build threads before here just do a search for them only they are not as nice as this build has already started out on this kit !

Yours Mike

A new "Steel-Frame"

Hi,

the springs on the Cylinders are REAL springs, not a wire.
I'll try answer all your questions till end of this week.
I have to get a translator first

Here are the next Pictures,
--- I removed the Kit-Plasticframes and make two from 0,8mm Brasswire..................
