| John Cooper | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Build | 02-Feb-11 10:23 |  | | Views : 1182 | | The Henschel's landing gear. It took some effort to get the wire into the right place and also have the wheels turn smoothly. I really wanted the wheels to turn properly, so that I could get a smooth landing (and possible take-off) on the gym floor. |
| John Cooper | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Build | 02-Feb-11 10:19 |  | | Views : 1185 | | For the Henschel's rocker arm covers, I started with a long balsa cylinder that was tear drop shaped in cross section. I then carved and sanded the full shape, while still on the cylinder (using the cylinder as a handle). I then cut off the completed shape and then started another. |

| John Cooper | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Build | 01-Feb-11 11:53 |  | | Views : 1230 | | This is a peanut scale (13") Henschel Hs 123. I was a little hesitant to start this model because there were so many difficult pieces to build. These included wheel fairings and cowl with numerous rocker arm blisters. However, the plane oozed so much character that I had to build it. |
