A Doblhoff
« on: January 01, 2024, 01:22:30 PM »
My next project. I chose it because the box fell apart while handling it.
An Austrian macine with only four prototypes built between 1943 and 1945.
It looks as if the kit has an extra sprue which is not needed.

Hi Chris,
Looks interesting. In fact just been reading about the Fairey Rotodyne and part of the history refers to these and other early helicopters and autogiros.
Will watch this one with interest.

It looks like it will have fragile undercarriage, good luck.

Some sub-assemblies done. It's definitely fiddly.

Looks like it will need all of your dexterous abilities.
Will be impressive when done.

I wonder why Doblhoff and Flettner went for lots of intricate framework? Most likely strength with lightness? The hard part is usually getting all the fiddly bits fully assembled.

You're dead right Chris. There are quite a few fiddly bits some of which will not be visible.

That is some impressive detail in that small cockpit.
Well done.
