Thank you so much, all those who gave me thumbs-up and kind comments. They helped me a lot to keep myself on tracks.

Personally, I can not tell whether I like the design of the landing gears. So much complicated and so many parts involved.
About your question, I would say that they are pretty much stable once they were installed.
However, installation would be a bit troublesome if glues, which need dry time, are used.
I use instant glues in 99% of my building. I could position the parts and done.
About the strength of the strut, the upper wide body of the strut has frames so that there would be no big issue. I have concerns on the neck (a curved section near the piston connection) though. That section has nothing in it. Mechanically, all the weight of the plane would be on it and it could be buckled with over pressure. I just reinforced inside with an instant glue with low viscosity (thin instant glue), which smears into the fiber of the paper instantly and make paper hardened like plastics. I use it when I build the frame and need to harden parts.

Herbert,
Again, congratulations on your new models!!!
I don't have space and courage to build such a big model plane but it certainly looks great.
Nice work! Thank you very much for sharing photos.

Congratulations on your plane!!! It certainly looks so great.
I also have similar memories when I was a kid. My brother made a meter long paper passenger airplane and all my friends envied me.

Still 1989. Wow.
That's a classic ...
I do have a couple of old classic Maly models that I could not remember how I got.
I just don't have courage to cut parts out. : D
PS. A 6 digit phone number...Now I remember that mine was 5 digit when I was a kid and then upgraded to a 7 digit number. My mother is still using the same number. Wow it's been a while...

Andrew,
Very very nicely done and clean works!!!
I love to see the separate skin work and the frame insertion later.

Wow this is a classic. Is 86-10-05 a purchased date or a published date on the third image?
Great!

The work for a canopy.
The vacuum forming idea works after several trials and errors.
Here the DIY system looks.
A hood filter (metal mesh ~$6) was taped to the cardboard box that was air-tight sealed with a duck tape.
A house vacuum hose was connected.
The real game changer was a heat gun which was bought from Amazon.com ~$28.
Despite of over budgeting, I am happy to see it work.

Yours looks so great and clean and organized...
Here is mine and I don't think it could give anyone any inspiration. But here it is.
It is a shared work area for my modeling and real work.
The battery powered Dremel and its drill bench are recent addtitions.

Hi Seo,
We visited the bridge in March 2013. It was a little bit cold that morning when we walked over the bridge. When we had passed half the way, the fog disappeard, the sun came out and we had a beautiful view over the skyline of San Francisco and the Harbour Bay.
Maybe one day again......
Yes. March time has a lot of foggy mornings.
Next time you might want to visit the Battery Spencer.
I haven't walked cross the Bridge and I should try someday.

Display MoreHello Seo,
the tip of the nose is masterful, absolutely round shape !
Kind regards
Zaphod
Thank you so much for your kind encouragement.
I made a little mistake during the cutting phase. In results, a bit large gap happened.
Painting inside with a black color worked better than expected.

Hi Seo,
Thank you for your words!
For you Seo, taken in 2013: D
Thank you very much for the photo.
I guess that you visited the Golden Gate Bridge during summer.
Another similar view on a sunny day.
Next time you might want to try your visit between April ~ May.
Fall used to be a good season but nowadays you might be caught by wild fires or drought.

Andrew,
It is going to be another great model for you.
Sure the inner frame assembly look so clean. Nice.

Conclusion: The model is for the most part very precisely fitting, but it also has to be built meticulously, because there is not much going on with error tolerance. I also did pretty well, I think.
Daniel,
Very very well done. It looks so great.

The work for the nose cone of the spinner.

The works to attach main wings permanently.
There is no pairing part for wings and the fuselage.
The main focus of the work would be how to minimize any gap at connection areas.

A few more photos of my old P-51D
And this is now.
I am not very good at keeping models. Due to many moving home, my old pal needs urgent care. A Missing wheel, missing ailerons, broken propellers.
I decide to give it my late attention while I am building its sister.
The repairing plan is under formulation.

About 12 years ago, when I did not need my magnifying glasses, I built the exactly same model.
It was my ninth or tenth Halinski model and made a tons of mistakes due to its paper and silver printing.
I am using instant glues as a main glue and the instant glue didn't work well with the paper and silver printing.
-
This is my next plan after Brewster.
I estimate that I could start building P-51D in a couple of weeks.
As usual, preparation goes first.
Frame parts get spray-glued card boards.
And main parts also received spray acrylic coating.
My dear friend, Joon gave me several models generously and I promised to make one model for him among them.
He chose P-51D, which I don't like a bit.
No doubt it is one of the best models from Halinsk.
But its paper and silver printing have a lot of issues when it is built.
Joon, here comes your P-51D. Let's see how it would come out.

Hi Seo,
for you, as a non-german, it shouldn't be a personal problem. For you it's only "the evil side of mankind". For you, evil people in movies speak German. For me, everybody in a movie speaks german
German WWII aircraft is part of the world's history and definetely should be mentioned in modeling. But I'm not the person who wants to work with those strong and evil symbols.
I have absolutely no problem with japanese WWII-Fighters. I'm not japanese, that's not my history. On the japanese section, I only see lots of very interesting constructions and Designs. The red meat-ball doesn't speak politically to me.
That's maybe how "point of view" works
regards,
Daniel.
...by the way, there's a FW190 "Papagei" in my collection. The design was stronger than my political concerns. I don't know if I'll build it some day
Daniel,
I could see your dilemma. I am pretty sure that the Halinski Papagei is a beautiful model. I don't have one in my collection and definitely it will be in my next batch of Halinski orders. Thank you for the info.
