The fit is superb, but the trailing edges of the wings are to thick. Right: before correction, not glued yet. Left: thinned, glued with ethylacetate and cleaned.

Das Wichtigste bei einem Rennen ist der Motor und mit den 275 PS des recht betagten Originalmotors wird kaum ein Blumentopf zu gewinnen sein. Glücklicherweise ergatterte ich einen generalüberholten Alvis Leonides, der mit seinen 1020 mm gerade in die echt schlanke Haube der CJ-6 hineinpasst. 400 PS, vielleicht mit Tuning auf 450 PS, das wird gut!!! Hmmmmm, damit ihm aber nicht zu heiß wird sollten zusätzliche Kühlklappen, mindestens 2 unten eingebaut werden. Jedem Zylinder spendiere ich ein eigenes Auspuffrohr. Vielleicht lässt sich auch der Abgasschub durch die Ausrichtung der Stacks nach hinten nutzen...

Die Sitzpolster des Originals? Geht ja gar nie nicht! Schöne Polster für vorne und ein bequemer Sitz für den Gast hinten... Das ist ja stark; der VIP- Sitz aus einer Goose passt hinein und hat nur 150 USD gekostet! Auch der Steuerknüppel muss neu. An der Stange des Originals lässt sich nix befestigen und es müssen mindestens drei Schalter werden...

Yesterday morning was airbrushing day. I mixed my yellow from H69 (gloss yellow) and H154 (matt insignia yellow) and airbrushed with great joy first the lower side. And noticed too late that the mixture is too glossy! The engravings filled up with paint and I had a great collection of dust and micro hairs in my wet surface (grrrrrrrrrr!)
After all I could correct the mixture by adding more H154 on the upper side and tail.
Yesterday and today evening things went well with the cowling: red and orange OK, decals OK, masking OK and correct mix for Seablue (aprox. 60-70% glossy) OK.

Well Bernhard... I knew that this one comes out like it is from the start. Unic idea and excellent work as always!

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you Christian!
I had to pay dearly for my mistake with the airbrushing (too glossy) yellow: when I sanded & cleaned the surface of the dust particles and "micro hairs" I scrubbed the the paint off in some parts-🙁
With the red, I was more clever: I first tried the degree of glossiness on a scrap piece of plastic🙂

I'd say it positively HAS yellow wings.😉
Clean and impeccable build and overall great attention to detail. 👍

Where's it going to compete? At the Sino Air Races, Schrock Bull Championships or Paraplastix Sky Racers? 😉
Man, this is brilliant! 👍👍

Just a mind game...

Erik: please let me a chance and start in the multi engine class🙂. Great idea and artwork. I think your racer would be hard to beat.

Ein echt feuriges Teil hast du da zusammen gebaut - schaut super aus. Und ein absolutes Unikat hast du ganz nebenbei auch noch in der Vitrine stehen.

Album info

I have always wanted to have or to create an own racer. As I do not have a chance to have one in size 1:1 now I would like to do this in 1:48.

Yesterday I have decided to register the bird in Germany🙂
