SE 5a / 1:25 / Orlik

MARIUSZ_G · Nov 25th 2012

Dear Friends!
The next model that I've start to do is Scout Experimental SE 5a-model of the famous british fighter of WW I.
Model was published some years ago by "ORLIK" in "strange" for polish cardboard models scale - 1:25.

And the picture from the producer's site:

Now-the first ready elements:

Hmmm...strange... I'm trying to built a plane model, and there is some king of..ladder
There are some sentimental aspects of my work - as a little boy i've adored a view of british big signs on the khaki wings...
And the film "Aces high" I've seen in cinema was for me a shock

Hi Mariusz,

what a great choice! I like the Se 5a very much and i am happy to be with you in your Baubericht .

You are jumping from 1:33 to 1:50 and then 1:25, but why not? This Orlik-Plane is going to be a

wonderful ( big ) Model of world war I.

So, letzt have fun with old planes .

Cheers

Jens

DDG · Nov 27th 2012

Hi Mariusz,
are you planning to super-detail the model or is it going to be out-of-the-box?

Kind regards.
DDG

MARIUSZ_G · Nov 28th 2012

It's going to be "out of the box" rather.
With small enrichment of certain parts-maybe...
Generally - I'm goimg to have a lot of fun rather than a lot of work...

MARIUSZ_G · Dec 1st 2012

Some new elements added:

There's very interesting idea of bulding that model ; you can find out,how the original plane was built. But at the same time there will be some modeller's trap to meet - I'm afraid...
Well - will see...

Witaj Mariusz,
wygląda wspaniale! Z czego zrobiłeś szkielet kadłuba?

Es sieht toll aus! Woraus ist das Skelett des Rumpfs?

MARIUSZ_G · Dec 1st 2012

It's 100% cardboard.

Rainer59 · Dec 1st 2012

Hallo Mariusz

Das Skelett deiner S.E.A 5 ist wirklich bemerkenswert alle achtung.

King Learjet · Dec 1st 2012

The frame by itself is allready a masterpiece!

Looks very convincing to me.

MARIUSZ_G · Dec 25th 2012

A little step forward:

The lower covering of the fuselage is added.
It makes a small stabilisation of that weak structure ( "ladder" )

And to all visitors of my topics - Merry Christmas!

Now the time for seatbelts.Unfortunately absent in the cardboard.
I've been looking for example of them ( vintage photographs), but that is very hard to find...
Any suggestions...?

zec · Jan 19th 2013

Hallo

Maybe this will help you -> http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/mod…topic&topic_id=125096

MARIUSZ_G · Jan 19th 2013

Thanks!
...and another suggestions...?
Slowly, but there's something in my mind...

MARIUSZ_G · Jan 25th 2013

Dear Friends!
The casting for seatbelts is ended, and the winner is... ( project) :

Progress: about 90%.
...and soon new photographs ...

Hallo Mariusz,

really nice work, you do.

I hope, we will see much more.

Greetings

Markus

MARIUSZ_G · Jan 28th 2013

Henryk · Jan 29th 2013

Witaj Mariusz,
pasy są wspaniałe! Są takie w wycinance, czy też „waloryzowałeś”?

Hallo Mariusz,
die Pilotengürtel sind köstlich! Sind sie so im Bausatz, oder hast Du „gesupert“?

MARIUSZ_G · Jan 29th 2013

Thank you, Henryk , for kind words.
As I've says in the post from 19.01.2013 - seatbelts in that cardboard are absent...
It's 100% "scrathbuilt"

Dziękuję Henryku za miłe słowa!
Tak jak wspomniałem w poście z 19.01.2013 - w wycinance nie ma pasów pilota...
Zrobiłem je od podstaw według wybranego wzoru.

MARIUSZ_G · Feb 2nd 2013

Seatbelts ( lower pair) on theirs place:

I've found an interesting site:

It's a flying mock-up in large scale, but we can find a lot of details to take off in our model

frettchen · Feb 20th 2013

Czolem Mariuszu,

przypuszczam, ze niemal wszystkie elementy, które do tej pory w tym modelu budowales, sa wykonane z papieru (oraz tektury)... Chociaz trudno mi w to uwierzyc.
Czym lakierujesz ten model?

Pozdrowienia

Alfred

Hallo Mariusz,

ich vermute, dass fast alle Elemente, die du bisher bei diesem Modell verbaut hast, aus Papier oder Pappe gemacht sind... Obwohl es mir schwer fällt, das zu glauben.
Womit wird das Modell lackiert?

Grüße

Alfred

MARIUSZ_G · Feb 21st 2013

Yes, that model is made in 99 % of cardboard. With small addition of copper wire and silk thread.
As I've said earlier somewhere in my reports, the nitrocellulose varnish is what I love to paint my models.
The additional advantage of that varnish is dissolving by him the excesses and accidental drops of glue on the surface of model. In my case it's UHU universal.
That varnish hardened glue in model also.

Tak, ten model to w 99% papier i karton z niewielkim dodatkiem drutu miedzianego i nitki jedwabnej.
Jak już wcześniej wspominałem w moich relacjach,moim ulubionym lakierem jest lakier nitrocellulozowy ( do drewna).
Jego dodatkowa zatela polega na rozpuszczaniu naddatków i zabrudzeń z kleju,jaki używam ( UHU universal).Dodatkowo lakier ten wchodząc w reakcję z wyschniętym klejem dodatkowo go utwardza.

I've made next 2 frames to put the skin of the fuselage ahead from the pilot's cabin. Together with the frames I"ve made imitation of the front and rear walls of the fuel tank.
