The Bv 148, Dr Vogt's 'conventional' version of the Bv 141 - DONE

[scooter]

The wings are about done, I've scribed all the panel lines, a right pain of a job, but it's done, and all the PSR is finished too. I'm almost ready to glue them in place, but......

The fuselage has no panel lines at all, and as it's a cylinder a lot of them will need to go AROUND the fuselage and I just know I'll make a hash of them.

What I need is some sort of guide to align the scribing tools, but nothing I have is hard enough of flexible enough. Any ideas?

6' rule?

A leather trouser belt, perhaps!

Kit that label maker tape seems to be the way to go.
I just brought 4 push broach scriber bits and the dude I brought them off is sending me a roll of that tape even though I just brought 3 rolls of Temu ..$7.50 nz with free postage 
I've got to rescribe a 32nd A-4..all of it ..im looking forward to it 😀

Dymo tape would work, yes, IF I could find any!, but nowadays they use a different sort and that won't work.

I've got a 6" rule, it's what I used to scribe the wings, but it doesn't bend.

The hell with it, the wings are glued on now, and the tail will be by bed time as well.

A bit late, but I have heard talk of cutting down a section of steel measuring tape (narrowing it a bit) and using that?
The retractable, spring-loaded builders' tape measure kind, I mean.

A brake line pipe cutter tool?

[PR19_Kit]

Now THAT'S a good idea! I can even adjust the depth of the panel line too!   

[PR19_Kit]

And here we have it, the complete assembly, with panel lines on the wings even! 

Needs some PSR on the wing roots, but this is a 1970s Airfix kit at its roots of course.

     love it 😀

I've some I can stick in the post to you mate, I gave up scribing eons ago. No idea how much is left on the roll though.

It's looking very good Kit, but I have this vision of a special ground crew detachment running out with some props for the front end every time one comes into land. Human brain is a funny thing at times.

With the engine where it is, aft of the mainwheels, and that hefty turret waaaaaay back there, I don't think there'd be too much of a problem. I hope so anyway.

I think my brain hears a "snap" more than anything else, as I said the brains a funny thing.

That would be wonderful, thanks so much.
