You’re Right Lucien!It is a great book with a weatlh of info on the Luftwaffe!The little Storch is finally starting to look like an airplane!

42

I have that book as well. Its a must to all ‘Luftwollers’ [:D] Looking great Philo, keep it up fella.

As for the Balken-Hakenkruz connundrum. I think that Hakenkruz means Crooked cross. Not sure what Balkenkruze means. Maybe ‘Big’ cross.

I guess I was trying to avoid the word “Swastika” and mixed up my terminology!

44

Well I got the landing gear,wheels and tail skid on.Little tricky but it looks pretty good.next I have to paint and install the prop,put on the mass balances for the wings and put on a few detail parts.

45

It looks great, man. I stand by my earlier statement, too: I can’t tell that the Hakenkreuz (swastika) is painted, you did a very good job. I can’t wait to see it totally completed.

46

Well I was able to do a little more today and the Storch is nearing completion.

47

I decided to build the Kubelwagon that came with the Storch!Man!that thing is tiny and it was great fun putting the headlights and Notek light on!The carpet monster almost claimned them more than once and the tweezers were of limited use so I had to use my fingers not and eay task!

Philo, Little Stuff like that is why I left Model Railroading…[X-)] When I was “Online Window Shopping” today I came across a 1/35 Fiesler Storch ~ Good Next Project for you.[#toast]

Here is the little Kubelwagon.Pretty nice for such a tiny model. Here is the little Kubelwagon.Looks pretty good for such a tiny model!

Well the Storch and Kubelwagon are now complete.For such a small scale i think both kits are quite good and the engineers gave the design much thought.Next up I think I’ll tackle either the 1/48 Hasegawa Ki[-61 Hien(Tony)or the Icm 1/72 TU[-2M.

Fantastic [tup][tup] ! Thanks for the progression Philo, the Storch and Kubule really turned out. Are you going to make a small Dio with them ?

I Vote for the Tony for your nect project, your eyes most likely need a break.[X-)]

53

Nice work there! I’ve got that one in the stash, one of these days…

54

I agree!and Judging from past expeirence the ICm Tu[-2 won’t be an easy build!
