indydog Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I posted this in the "Props" forums, but thought I might get better feedback here amongst us floatplane nuts. I just picked up Airmodel vac kits of the 1/72 Bv-238 V1 and an 1/72 Bv(Ha)- 139 V3. Anyone out there have any expirience with these kits? I've never done a vac kit of this size, but the price was right and they are SO cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fester Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Sorry Mark I can't help with your question, but I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this monster during its build. What is the wingspan in 1/72? Doc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indydog Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I posted this inquiry in several places Doc, the info is short in coming. :lol: As to size, it's about on par with the Monogram B-36. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lansen Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Oh, man! I thought my BV 222 was big, but this...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miduppergunner Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I rather suspect this is like asking if anyone has experience of going over Niagra Falls in a barrel - you need to be a rather brave kind of person to attempt it!!! From my own experience with conventional sized vac form kits one of that size may be a bit easier but you will need - I guess- to put in quite a bit of "stiffeners" and spars etc. When faced with that kind of problem I find that following full size construction helps! Do let us see some pictures please - there are quite a few bods present who will have very useful hints and tips. David. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
