i have used fake plant stems if the tow cables have to be bent a lot, like on an IDF SHO'T Centurion.

Yes

Thanks Rob,

Now I need to build the tow cables that also didn't come in the kit...

solid core wire and evergreen tube and patience.

How did you do the "eye" portion of the tow cable? Is that a slice of tube bent into an oblong shape? And then glued to the collar/sleeve portion?

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

PJ,

I can't get over what a beast that is,

Wayne,

That looks real. It's going to look so sweet behind that K5. Man I'm going to be envious of that build.

This is my rr practice piece.  Here are final pics with home made rails. i will have a tutorial for this shortly. the gondola is empty because i haven't decided how to use it. right now it will be offloading 280mm ammo for K-5 but i could use a 2x4 truck instead. base length vs width.

Awesome stuff there Rob!!!

My project has slowed to a crawl...

It just amazes me how much detail Dragon left off this kit.  I am way short of matching the pictures so far, but I am going for it.  See Pictures;

Yes the handles on the boxes are scratch built.

So, this will be my last post on this build for a bit. I need a break already, LOL Crying. These builds are so tediouis, that, I only do them a page or two at a time. I've already spent close to 10 hours on it already and I have just got page 1 done. I am going to move over the USMC GB and 'get jiggy' with a Cobra gunship. It's a great distraction and I will come back and forth between builds to the Hansa-B.

Anyway, here's the flight controls mounted and ready to go:

That's if for a bit, I'll keep lookin' in on this.......pressing PAUSE on the Hansa-Brandenburg....NOW.
