Piccies from Allan two Huma

[Allan]

Hi lads,

Here are two in-progress shots of my Huma Triebflugals, one as a two seater and the other to be converted into a mock WW 1 fighter using parts of an old Siemans Shuckert I had lying around.

Putting the upper wing on might be a little tricky. I'll have to try hard to make it straight and level. Any suggestions?

By the way, the headrest for the WW1 fighter is a canopy from an old FW 190D.

My advice?  When it comes time to putting the upper wing on, make sure it is

"very straight"

and

"very level"

(anyone ever see "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack's friend telling him how to ski the treacherous K-whatever slope?).

I do like your model but I do not understand fully what the end result will be.

So, please get cracking so I can see the finished product!!!

Glad you asked, Barry.

The WW1 jobby will have a spandau gun in front of the cockpit and struts between the two wings and also leading from under the wing to the fuselage. I'll then knock up some undercarriage, perhaps from FW 190 oleo legs I have lying around, and then slip some sort of airfoil between them a la Fokker D7. Then a prop, tailwheel or skid and maybe Japanese markings.

North Korean markings are looking good for the vertical triebflugal, with Hartmann-like tulip petals and a Me 109 prop (mit spiralnauze) on the nose. Six twirly things around the fuselage.

Lot's more work to do, though.

Sounds very intriguing, Allan.
Keep the in-prog pics coming, please.
