Great pictures as always, Matthias! What kind of parts are you short on the MKIXT? It is good to see MJ772 getting some real attention, it always seemed like it was a bit of a "hard luck" survivor.

some work on the TF

Thu Nov 17, 2011 4:49 pm

body work .... I love such details

Image

another piece of art

Image

the whole thing

Time for some updates folks !

The Buchon project is growing, the TF-project is growing, the Spitfire T9 is neraly ready to fly, the Noordyn AT-16 is undergoing some restauration efforts and the center-section of the SeaFury wing is in the shop. TE184 is under maintenance also. Will say some work in the shop and time for a bigger update

at first the AT-16 D-FRCP, love that old lady ! Shes in a good shape, but needs minor restauration.

Buchon, the bigger parts

wingsection, right wing ready sheeted, overview

Image

closer

Image

Image

Image

fuselage overview

Image

cockpit section, good to see the (temporarely) installed wooden mainboard

Image

a bit closer. The "clocks" on the right side are not the original ones. The original intruments will be revised and attached soon

Image

one of the most interesting and complexiest parts of the Messerschmitt Bf109, the socalled "D-Beschlag" , the attchement point for the maingear

Image

attachment point of the wing

Image

port side, a lot of work for the sheet-workers. All old parts/sheets are checked and possibly exchanged

Image

another complex part for the hydraulic system

Image

and again the "D-Beschlag"

Image

Buchon updates

Tue Nov 22, 2011 2:19 pm

Image

the pedal system left and right side

Image

Image

the old exchanged sheeting in front of the fuselage

Image

Image

Juergen shows the old parts which will be stored of cause in the shop

Image
