P 51D Halinski

Thanks for your kind words billmcc...

I will post the complete build article on my new website when I'm done with it... give me a few more days.

I use the UHU Alleskleber Extra for the most part. I use super glue for some instances where I want immediate adhesion and plain old white glue to fill in some gaps I may not like and then I just paint over it.

I will post the instructions tomorrow...

Hey guys,

I just posted some more pics from the build in my album. I am finally FINISHED!!! This means that I can finally finish my article and post it on my site... it'll take some time. Maybe Ron could post the actual article in Word format somewhere for downloading... I don't have the bandwidth for such a large file... it's almost 5 megs given all the photos.

Enjoy...

Bill,

Thanks for your kind words Bill... a masterpiece?!?! Wow, that's high praise indeed... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!... yes, it turned out quite good for my first card board model :D

I tried to post the instructions twice yesterday to the Parts Bin but with no success. Send me an e-mail at greg.leszczynski@sympatico.ca and I'll just e-mail it to you.

-Greg
 
Thanks Rick... I didn't know stuff in the Bin needed to be approved... you live and you learn :wink:

Thanks agian...

Greg,

This may be your first cardstock model, but your years of modeling experience is evident in your excellent build of the P-51.

Do you live in the US? If so, where do you get UHU Alleskleber Extra glue?

Thank you for sharing the translated instructions.
 
Greg,

I prefer ordering printed models from Ralph at Lighthouse Model Art. You are correct, service is great. I didn't know he sells UHU Alleskleber Extra glue. I will add the glue to my order when I get a copy of the Halinski P-51D.
 
Now look what you've done!

I've placed an order from Lighthouse for one of those P-51s based on this thread... Been wanting to get a D model for a while now and you helped me decide which one to get. Nice going! Also got another kit since I'm paying for shipping anyway.

Guys, I ran into bandwidth problems... I had to remove the .pdf temporarily. I will repost as a regular web page... stay tuned...

Above you can see a fuel tank ready to roll and glue to is formers...
Below you can see two tanks, one is well done the other seems that have been dropped from a high altitude and that is reason for I dont put the fuel tanks in my P 51D...
The tanks are in their real size...
 
What fun, I have tried two times to construct a Halinski FW 190 and have tripped over not recoginizing failure to account for panel fit accuracy. I have saved my efforts to remind me of my failure. My wife thinks I am crazy probably right. My next effort will be a Spitfire. We will see. Please post any further ideas and guides. Those Polish instructions even translated are minimal at best.
 
I really enjoyed reading your building story!! I was drooling in the end......
I have bookmarked it now as a tutorial :)

So much to learn....so little time....so many kits....
