Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorHi and welcome on board.
I can report a little progress....

Thomas Haberl - (TH SCALE MODELS)Watching with interest - I have some closeups of the one from Technischen Museum in case you need some 😏
22 March, 19:40
Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorThx Guy, Bozo & Robert for watching. @ Bozo - had a good weekend with some spare time 🙂, usually I am slow.
@Cuajete - a very carefully observer you are- 😉 It is not there with indent (ironically to avoid to break it during glueing, sanding, painting,....)
@Thomas - that would be great - (I already recognized that the Austrian bird had a observation/bubble window, which I did not build in) - to you have a good picture from rear view?

Naramahhh another slow mate! take your time, I absolutely do not know this plane. I take a sit !

Thomas Haberl - (TH SCALE MODELS)I checked the pics I have but unfortunately I don´t have a shot from behind. The observation window is barely visible on another shot, but the one you have in your album is similar to mine. I guess you have to ask Dr. google - maybe you can find some pics there

Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorWelcome Naram & Michael.
Thank you Thomas for your feedback and for checking your picctures. I did of course use the www - I guess it is a good enough basis for some detailing work on the exterior, even when there is not much material to be found of the OE-BVM. But ok....
Thx & cheers 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorPaint hangar activities.--- still not finished, but the bird is already getting more colorful.

KennethFantastic craftsmanship 👍 Not that it will detract much, if at all, but when I look at the Perspex part on the cockpit in the second photo it seems that (unusual for a Dove) all of it, except for the lump on top and wind screen and side window frames, is transparent and not painted, including the upper surfaces?

Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorThank you Kenneth and Thomas.
And - WOW. Nice catch Kenneth. I don't know how many times I looked at those pictures without taking note of this. Mmh. need to think about this fact now. Not sure if this can be "salvaged" in a good way.

Thomas KolbInteresting scheme and very nicely executed. I am looking forward to the decals and the unmasking.

Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorBringing this one back on the bench after my "summer-break" is finished now. When the wheels were on the bird, I had to face the truth of having created a tailsitter 🙂 - again.
Fix in progress.

Marco GallmannMaybe, put it on a Diorama base (fine sandpaper) paint as a runway and glue the front wheel on the runway. I'm curious to see what it will look like when it's finished.
28 September, 13:54
Michael KohlIf following Marcos suggestion I strongly recommend flattening the wheel considerably and using a short wire to enhance the bond.
How are you going to fix it?
28 September, 18:47
Ben MPerhaps you can pull out the nose wheel strut and pour in bbs and epoxy then glue strut back in place
28 September, 19:24
Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorHi. Thx for your tips guys.
Pulling the nose wheel strut will unfortunattly not work - the area underneath (cockpit) is allready full of weight. I have an idea (not perfect, but...) - stay tuned 🙂

NicolasHi Juergen, on the pic the props are still missing, they are quite a bit in front of the main gear. And perhaps you can install a bit of weight in the spinners as well. It's not much, but if you are allredy close it could be enough.

Juergen Klinglhuber AuthorThanks Nicolas - as I read your advice the hole was already made. 🙂 A good idea, and filling the nacelles maybe would have been a good idea too (at least not visible like my solution with the wheel bay).
Anyhow. Now the bird stopped sitting 😉
Hope to take some finall pictures over the weekend.
