Topic: Balsa USA Morane A1 1/3 scale build

No good all the doors are 6 panel, otherwise you never know it a possability  .

It'll be reet, just remember to make a neat job of the scarf joints where the longerons go over the panels and rails, unless you can get the longerons down the muntin or stiles

Ian.

hope this helps?

Cheers Stu, I thought I had see them some where. They are not in the kit or mentioned in the instructions.


 

All the anchor points for the cabane and struts are in place on the wings.

Another problem here was mssing parts, (defo not in the kit, the bag was sealed). The plans show a number of the cabane anchor points, yet there was 2 lots of the plywood missing. These were easy to replace at least.

There is still quite a bit of work still to by done on the wings, but these have been put to 1 side so other work can be done.

Well done some measuring and I can just use my board (with out resorting to ripping doors off the house as suggested). So the frame work for the fuz has been started. I will post some more pics shortly.

YAY, more pictures please... 

As promised some more pics

First the wings, not enough room to place together to get full size, will have to wait for some decent weather and do it outside. Still a lot of work to do on them yet.

Now the start of the fuz.

Lookin mighty fine matey 

Progress is moving on the fuz.

Well, more work done on the fuz and it starting the take, shape. An additational couple of internal diaganol braces have been added.

Neat and tidy work mate

Cheers, after our conversation last weekend. I did some extensive work on the fuz and added a couple of the extra internal diagonal bracings as suggested.

Just been going through the metal work for the kit and it appears I am missing quite a lot of the undercarriage.
