1/33 Curtiss BF2C-1 Hawk/answer [FERTIG]

@ Michael-San,

I will try to live up to your expectation

@Norm-San,

Shakespapeare, after read the book suddenly I could paper rolls with small diameter! I recommend you to read it too

Ive messed up!
When I assembled cowling I wasnt aware silver printed parts, which is to be glued inside of cowling, is included and painted inside gray. After painted found out run out paint onto the cowling surface
After contemplating, solution what I came up was to paint the cowling red. So, painted it red using air brush.
Mistake wasnt not only this but positioning of engine cylinder so gun barrel doesnt go to fuselage through between cylinders

I wont tell this to anybody so that many people will not be aware of my huge mistake 8)

Beside engine, assembled arrester hook.

Hi all

Thank you very much for your kind words

Today made canopy. Material used is OHP film because of it clearness that I prefer. Attached canopy frame to transperancy with double-faced adhesive tape.

Treatment of edges was difficult....

@OHI-san,

Recently I have to travel one to two weeks a month so miss paper modeling
I'm interested in airplane, ship, train and these days architecture
Thank you for your note

@Martin-san,

Wait a minute!
Although I build prop but it too early to hop in and fly away because I haven't assembled wings and stabilizer yet

pawell-san and Martin-san,

I am happy to know that you enjoyed figure I managed to make
My only regret is that I could not duplicate Martin-san's smiling face when reduced the picture

Lower wing consists of only fourteen parts including skins and formers but it took long time to build only left side lower wing
Still cannot take off

Although standing out joint line on fuselage still bugs me, I have managed to assembled lower wings....

@Rene-san,
Thanks you for your kind comments
Yes, being buried in paper modeling is the way I handle stress
Your B-17 is super build. I believe you can build great cowlings but without question four cowlings are....
Good luck in your B-17 build

@Norman-san, Iriera-san,
Ouch. I was intending to cast Martin-san as support player but now it is quite obvious he upstages the lead performer and emerges at center stage
I must change thread title from "Curtiss BF2C-1 Hawk" to "Martin BF2C-1 Sparrowhawk"

Today made horizontal tail
Construction is simple
I'm looking for suitable material for wiring

In Japan, today is middle of so called Golden Week Holiday. Im going to build paper model until May 6
Today built upper wing. Framer construction is simple and ailerons have no framer.
When I made struts of outside, just glued them without shaping it oval form. I was careless. After change of pace, made struts for inner side. This time, carefully shaped them like oval shape.

Now remaining works are wiring and small parts such as air intake etc.

Glossy paper is difficult. I will never again try to make glossy paper kit

@Stephan-san,

Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I am happy to know my modeling is one of cause that inspired you.
Cardmodelling is really fun. I want you to enjoy it together with us.
Good luck in your first model build.

@All
Thank you very much for your kind words.

Today added wirings.
Now finished!!!!!

I thought I've added [FERTIG] to Thema...
This time is it OK?

Martin-san, Cyana-san, Jorg-san and Peter-san,

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Michael-san,

Thank you very much for your compliment

Olli-san, Hagen-san thank you very much for your kind words.

Norm-san, it is beautifully painted paper that gives you impression of clean model. Actually it was very difficult to treat cut edges of this beautifully printed glossy paper. I see many unfavorable outcomes....
Anyway, thank you very much for your compliment

Take care ol'buddy

Hi Ric and Walter,
Thanks a lot
