starting to refine the landing gear.

The best practice is to glue all the parts on the outer side of the wing before installing the spar, and don't forget to paint the inside of the main wing black. I have fixed the flaps at a 45-degree angle, so the wing will not be able to fold.

I fabricated these rounded corners using capillary steel tubes.

I copied a part of the MiG-29 and used the color etched pieces from Eduard.

I added L-shaped supports on the sidewalls

Zur Sprühkleberfrage...:
Ich mache das auch mitunter, mit diesem doppelseitigen Klebeband komme ich nicht zurande.
Cockpitteile auf mit der Druckseite nach unten eine Unterlage legen. Sprühkleber draufsprühen, fertig.
Ist eigentlich eine ziemliche Schweinerei und man sollte das vorher üben. Vor allem unterschiedliche Sprühkleber ausprobieren. Aus den Dosen von Tesa und 3M kommt der Mist eher in Flocken raus. Kann man zum Spanten aufdoppeln gut verwenden, aber nicht für filigrane Cockpit-Verstrebungen.
Recht gut ist der Sprühkleber von UHU, das ist wirklich ein Sprühnebel.
Nächstes Problem kann sein, dass sehr kleine Teile vom Treibgas weggeweht werden. Dann kraucht man auf dem Boden rum und sucht halb eingesprühte Teile. (Die sich natürlich schon mit Staub und Katzenhaaren verbrüdert haben :-))
Dann muß man die Teile entweder vorab mit Stecknadeln fixieren, oder mit Fixogum.

The spray glue I use is not very sticky, especially when the amount is small.So sometimes I will deliberately spray it on the mat before placing small parts.

Quote from René Pinos

lisiming I have no concerns but measured the thickness especially for you. The thickness is 0.1 mm only.

Give us some detailes how you proceed with the spray glue.

I just cut out the pieces, colored them, and then sprayed glue on the back.Then it can be fixed to the glass. It requires a bit of adjustment。sometimes it may leave glue marks, but they can be removed with the thinner.

Sometimes the thickness of the double-sided tape can cause additional errors, I am used to gluing the hatch cover with spray glue

I tried sticking tin foil in the place of stainless steelwithspraying glue

Oh-Ooooohhhhhh….

Bad Colours – Sad Colours…!

I am very interested in your report, becaus I bought the new Su-7B from MSModel.

The quality error appeared also in the report of walkira`s PZL W-3A:

MSModel - PZL W-3A Sokół in 1:33 scale

Hi

This time I will present You process of building new ANSWER model from MSModel series: PZL W 3 Sokół in 1:33 scale. In build I use laser cut frame and reinforcements elements.

The frame of this model is quite similar to that of the W3/Anakonda model from GPM

For beginning - main hul frame

Then I glue to frame flor and wall parts

It is very annoying ….

They should at least try it out before printing the model, and the cost of this kind of problem shouldn't be borne by the customer, especially when I choose to support the genuine copy with the hefty additional postage and taxes

感谢您的提议 Chris，

但我很高兴这个套件不是那么像怪物一样。老实说，你甚至可以没有你无论如何都看不到的踏板。我将以更详细的版本再次制作面板，用玻璃背衬，也许有人在看它。从 MS 购买的树脂轮子一团糟，这就是为什么上面有 ResKit 的 1/32 轮子。

Yes, it looks like they only intend to use it as a replacement for polished wheels, and not to play the performance of 3D printing。So I made my own 33 scale wheels, with a 3D printer

Fill errors, fill errors, and expand errors

Where is the quality supervision of Answer? Or maybe we're talking about something that doesn't exist

I'm going to start both projects at the same time, in one thread

您好 LIsimeng，

一个出色的结果！我特别钦佩你处理的所有困难部分都非常顺利地连接起来。它看起来非常逼真。

感谢您与我们分享您的建造过程照片！

亲切问候

Thank you for your comment, it's been a pleasure interacting in this forum

Finished. Just in time to have a red and blue gradient background, like the cover.

Some close-ups

the gaps

It's going to be a while before the 3D printed tires and I can't wait to take some photos first

A project that was being carried out at the same time as me-262。 one point I wanted to give up, but I finally decided to complete this model.

After completion, they will be firmly glued. Because I didn't accurately calculate the position of the axis, and I didn't think of a suitable plan to lock the landing gear and cover in the closed state.

Quote from Zaphod

Hello Lisi,

so far everything looks great !

Will the landing gear be retractable?

Kind regards

The connection of various parts can be called hell. But in the end, I combined them together. This is definitely the second most uncomfortable model I've ever done.

Hey, my friends, let's continue this project.

Some 3d printed parts has been built

what can i say……

The shells of the two engines were completed, and the wrong part of the rear wing was covered with gouache

Quote from René Pinos

Computer designed Yes but the author never made a test built.

This is what puzzles me the most. There are pictures of the trial mould on the back cover and the problem isn't that bad, could it be that GPM changed the drawing after the trial mould to cause the error?By the way, I really hate this mouldy cheese-like blue colour of the drawings, I can barely control the urge to repaint them

Quote from Zaphod

Hello Lisiming,

yes, there are some basic flaws with this model, the red and yellow bands being two of the most obvious.

As far as I recall severall modellers did not finish this 262 due to its flaws but with your method you should be able to overcome the obstacles.

Kind regards

But for most people, they're actually paying for a book of model that cannot build.

I was so troubled by this error that I actually made another mistake.The penultimate skin was glued 0.1mm out of position, resulting in the 4th skin needing to compensate for 0.8mm in order to make the tail perpendicular to the fuselage!

When I saw these errors, it was hard to believe that this was a computer-designed drawing

Thanks, and then, the belated cardboard part

My thread is posted in the wrong section, is there any way to move it?

Obviously, the opening for the cannon is not in the right place and the side walls of the landing gear bay protrude 0.5mm。But with this method I can detect these errors in advance and fix them in cad and then use the laser cutter to cut the keel.

Quote from Jan Hascher

Interesting approach. Love to see that.

I have to say, it's supposed to be a designer's job.

A halinski version of the keel was assembled in the same way.By the way I designed some parts planning to use 3d printing

I modelled the keel combination with software and apparently there is some error here.

I decided to start this project before I opened the halinski version

It may be a little late, but I would like to say that it is recommended that you connect the skins before tucking the keel in

Also, you may need a few metal sticks of the right size

I still have a lot of time with‘190 ’s

Quote from Zaphod

Hello lisiming,

you continue your great work with this difficult kit.

Thanks you for the comparison of the drop-tank with a real one!

The stickers give a nice final touch to the landing gear.

Kind regards

In fact, it will be a set of 3D printed tires that will round off the landing gear

In short, I have completed everything.
