Samolot PIPER L4H Grasshopper

Jak budować model z kartonu / How to build paper model

Witam wszystkich serdecznie i dziękuję za subskrypcje. Będę się bardziej starał ,aby moje materiały były coraz lepsze. Zastanawiałem się nad formą montażu. I doszedłem to wniosku, że dwie kamery wystarczą. Trzeba będzie poprawić dźwięk i montaż. Ogólnie chcę pokazać jak buduję model kartonowy i promować samą ideę modelarstwa kartonowego

Odcinek 1, to budowa samolotu z II ws. PIPER L4H GRASSHOPPER.
Wycinam wręgi, podklejam kartonem od początku do końca. Chciałem nie zanudzać przy pierwszej części, więc mamy film 15 min. Druga część będzie oklejeniu kadłuba. Używam kleju introligatorskiego, maty samogojącej, nożyk modelarski, linijka metalowa. Krawędzie retuszuje starą metodą na czarno. Można dobierać kolor modelu.

ZAPRASZAM DO SUBSKRYPCJI.

Następna część, będzie o sklejaniu kadłuba.

Ordnance: The Piper L-4 Eyes in the Sky

The Piper L-4 and Stinson L-5 Sentinel liaison aircraft were important air assets employed by the United States during World War II.

The L-5 Stinson Sentinel was known as the Flying Jeep

The L-5 Stinson Sentinel observation liaison aircraft was the only purpose-built plane of its type manufactured in the United States during World War II. Known as the Flying Jeep, it was manufactured by the Stinson Aircraft Company of Wayne, Michigan, later a subsidiary of the Vultee Aircraft Corporation. The L-5 series and its five variants were manufactured between December 1942 and September 1945 for a total of 3,590 built. In terms of light observation aircraft, production numbers for this unarmed two-seater were second only to the Piper L-4 Cub.

The fuselage was constructed using chrome-moly steel tubing covered with doped cotton fabric. The wings and empennage were made of spruce and mahogany plywood box spars and plywood ribs and skins also covered with fabric. The only aluminum, which was in short supply, was on the engine cowling, tail cone, framework for the ailerons, rudder and elevator, and landing gear fairings. The L-5 was powered by a six-cylinder, 190-horsepower Lycoming 0-435-1 piston engine.

The L-5 was introduced into service with the U.S. Army Air Forces in the spring of 1944 and made its debut in the Italian campaign. Soon thereafter it was used by all the branches of the U.S. military as well as the British Royal Air Force. A large number of these craft were purchased by the Army for use as an adjunct of the close air-ground support mission. Faster and more powerful than the L-4 and L-5 liaison planes, the later variants of the L-5 were essentially upgraded and improved versions of those two earlier models. A strong and robust engine allowed the later L-5 to take more effective evasive action against enemy antiaircraft fire and fighters. It was equipped with a powerful radio, which greatly enhanced its air-to-ground and air-to-air communications capability.

Because of its effectiveness, the L-5 was cross-utilized by the Army ground forces and Army Air Forces in Italy. A number of L-5s were flown by Army Air Forces pilots as observers to direct American fighters and fighter bombers, including P-51s and P-47s, on strafing and bombing runs. Conversely, these missions were also flown with Army liaison pilots at the controls and with Army Air Forces pilots acting as observers. These operations in Italy were known as Horsefly missions and were quite successful.
