North American A-5 Vigilante – amerykański samolot szturmowo rozpoznawczy używany przez US Navy
Prezentuje model który dopiero co zeszedł z taśmy montażowej zakładów RH :razz:
Model jak model nic ciekawego ,to tez nie będę sie rozpisywał nad jego pracą,
Jedynie nadmienię że do waloryzacji użyłem dwie moim zdaniem ważne elementy.
Jedną z nich jest wewnętrzny szkielet zrobiony ze sklejki a produkowany przez firmę z USA Nautilus Models
Uważam że jest to bardzo potrzebna część ,gdyż kadłub w tylnej części jest dość szeroki i wykonaniu z cienkiego plastiku ,co powoduje że po sklejeniu może sie zapadać .Można oczywiście ,zrobić partyzantkę i wkleić słupki z plastiku .
Mój opis poprę paroma fotkami tej części



Drugą częścią waloryzacyjną jest kokpit z Eduarda (Naprawdę warto bo jest bardzo fajny i ożywia wnętrze





No dość pisania teraz czas na galerię :oops:

Ryszard,
Just an excellent build of what looks like a very complex kit. Not too sure that all that wood internal framing is needed for,but the end result was well worth your efforts.

I think it is to make sure the large fuselage does not twist during construction, which is a common problem in large aircraft kits. also extra rigidity help make sure seams do not crack open as the completed model ages and endures handling and whatnot. in retrospect, i wish i had had that for a couple larger jet models i have built

Hi Ryszard

Really nice build! That internal bracing is a very neat idea - I'm surprised it's never turned up among our Reviews. I wonder how long it'll take kit manufacturers themselves to cotton on to it. It'd save an awful lot of hassle on occasions for a few extra pence-worth of styrene...

All the best

Beautiful build, you did a wonderful job on what I understand to be a difficult kit!

Joel, as stated above that is what it's for I have this kit with the bracing and without it the fuselage joins don't line up along the spine due to it being very flexible, the bracing gives it a 'backbone'. If using Aires A/M jet cans these even fit into slots in the bracing. This kit is also one due to size, that although doesn't need certainly benefits from metal undercarriage. Must finish mine some day (at the painting stage)

Ryszard, very nice build and finish.

This is extremely cool! It's also the first time I see wood being used with a plastic kit... I wonder if this is just a gimmick to make it stand out of the crowd or if this solution is really cheaper then having the same in styrene...
