    Sir
    Excellent build.
    The ‘horn’ you mentioned by the starboard side of the cockpit is the Venturi tube which measures the airspeed.
    Fab channel relaxing construction.
    Most enjoyable 👍🏻😎

      Hello, the venturi created a vacuum to power the gyro instruments i believe, not the airspeed which is from the pitot

    Been working on a bi-plane for a 3d project, seeing this kit come together has really helped me imagine how the plane works in 3d! Thank you for documenting this!

    The little horn-shaped thing is a Venturi Tube, seen on many vintage aircraft of the 20's, 30's, and early 40's. Normally mounted on the side of the fuselage, it has something to do with measuring or regulating either air or liquid (?) pressure, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. It's not the same purpose as the pitot tube, but it does have something to do with measuring pressure.

    • @brenstratters2026
      @brenstratters2026 Рік тому +3

      The venturi is cone shaped to cause a pressure difference over a static port. A vacuum is created and this is used to power the gyros in instruments like the attitude indicator. I use to fly an aeroplane from the early 60s and it still came so equipped. All the best.

    From the attention to detail of your construction, to the subtlety of your weathering, I've loved it from start to finish! Again, thank you for the wheels and spats trick, you definitely solved a dilemma for me! I have always liked the Italian paint schemes, and I've always liked the Mc.202/205. Because of your inspiration, I was able to do a swap at our last model club meeting for a Tauro 1/48th Mc 202. I know it's a little rough, but I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with it and the smoke rings. Thank you! Looking forward to the next Bismarck update, and the Tempest start!

    Hi Steve. I’ve been enjoying your work for a while now and look forward every Friday for a new video. I’m a pilot and couldn’t resist putting in my 2 cents about that “horn” you attached to the model. I think someone else has already mentioned it, but its an early form of a vacuum (through the use of a Venturi) to power the gyros for the attitude and heading indicator. The reason though that you don’t see them anymore is that they are prone to icing and failing, but they are cheap and easy to maintain so they pop up on the odd Cessna for day VFR flying every so often. Keep up the amazing work, very much appreciated!

    • @TheModelShed

      Don’t think I can stretch to 20 but the tempest is a more complex build than the Falco so it will be more that 6 I suspect

      @@TheModelShed I started in the middle like you did by glueing the central struts except that I didn't want to risk ruining the painting so I thought I could use CA glue since the location seemed very positive. So I pushed them on until the fit seemed perfect and let the glue set, in hindsight I should have tried to put the upper wing on before but it seemed so right... Long story short it wasn't; I tried to fix it but in the end the outer struts were either trying to bend or not reaching the location (by a hair, but still...). The icing on the cake is a drop of CA glue that I didn't see dropped on the side of the fuselage opposite to where I was looking and left a visible smear on one side... You know, when it rains it pours kind of thing. It's still there on my living room table but as soon as I build another mid-size plane it will be replaced, I've been on a large scale streak lately (1/48 HKM Lancaster first and now I'm building the huge ICM Skycrane, with much better results if I may add :D )

I have a Dremel Moto-Tool, but it won't run slowly enough to avoid melting the styrene, even if I adjust it to the lowest possible speed.

    Lovely job of a lovely aircraft. Italy’s involvement in the Battle of Britain is not hugely well known, but all the fighters/bombers and transport aircraft are available as plastic kits of at least 1/48th scale. Not always the easiest Camo schemes to accurately represent, and certainly not to the exceptional standard we witness here.
    A fine example of your Falco was on display at the RAF museum (Hendon) “Battle of Britain” hall. Regrettably, but rather predictably, this world class collection of aircraft , artefacts and film was disgracefully repurposed as part of the rather WOKE 100th anniversary hall of the RAF in 2018. This fitting memorial to the British and Commonwealth’s most selfless and greatest hero’s who protected Europe from the complete domination by the Axis powers was replaced by a rather limp and uninspiring exhibit which seems to focus more on how inclusive the RAF has been and how bad bombing is. The original hall was a firm favourite of my family and we were excited to see what had been done to commemorate the 100th anniversary. Disappointment is such a huge understatement of just how bad it is and I actually found myself feeling rather emotional and devastated at what had become of “our” B of B hall.
    It seems such a disgrace that as we have seen the last of our B of B aircrew die (most without any public honours), we se fit as a nation to retire this once astonishing exhibit. As a nation we must obviously recognise (what we already know) that women, people of colour and differing genders and sexual orientations quite rightfully form important parts of our most junior service. It is just a shame that this is at the expense of those men and women of so Few in number held back the evil who would have seen these groups of people annihilated.
    Sorry for the rant, but it hit a bit of a nerve. We have the honour of a pilot who died in the battle, buried in my village and I drive past the grave most days and so I have the a small memorial as a reminder. It is such a shame that one of the very few national memorials has been so badly treated.

With regard to the aircraft's wing arrangement . it is, I believe, technically a sesquiplane rather than a biplane as the lower wing does not exceed 50% of the area of the upper plane.
