Flettner Fl 282 V6

Scale:

1/48

Company:

Huma

Built by:

I built this Flettner Fl 282 V6 about 13 years ago out of the Huma Kit. Minor conversions are necessary to convert it into the V6 version. I decreased the thickness of the instrument board, modified the mass balance of the rudder, added a new aerodynamic fuelcap, a new tailskid, a special fixture for small waterbombs and last but not least a modified gear for the rope.

The Flettner 282 V6 is painted with a Avionik Nitrodecklack similar light white grey from JPS colours.

With only few mods the basic kit is regardless one of the best Huma kits.

Excellent : realisation end pictures.

The last piture is very good. My only point is the bird is perhaps too clean, but true is a prototype.

Hi Manuel,

it is not "perhaps" too clean, he is "absolutly" too clean!

But 13 years ago I was not aware of all this amazing weathering technics. As you can see in those days I used only Inks for the panellines. OMG.

The MIAG Mobile Crane (about 4 years old) on the left is painted with the full range of weathering technics.

Have fun and be creative.

So nicely detailed filigree

So nicely detailed filigree structures - a great build! I don´t know why but I especially like the rope. I think it´s hard to make it look like hanging there accidentally. What material is used for it?
