Goodday friends

As promised here are the final pictures of the build of the TAKOM VIDAL wagen set.
After many years of waiting finaly there is a VIDAL wagen in the 1/35 scale and I’m very glad with this model.
The only thing that worries me is the lack of research done on the subject, but this gave me the posibilety to do some scratchwork on the model.
These update’s are almost not visible but they are there, Made the original mechanical brack system, updated the “Gurtbands” that fixated the A-4 Rocket to the Vidalwagen and there is a coupling for a other Vidalwagen at the rear of the trailer.

Here are the final pictures hope you like them.

Gruss from a very sunny Holland

I love it👍👍👍

Ich finde das Gezeigte ganz klasse!
Gefällt mir baulich sehr gut und mit dem Wissen welches Wissen du hast einfließen lassen ist es dann sogar noch mal so gut.
Lediglich der „stressed skin-Effekt“ an der einen Rakete wirkt nicht 100% überzeugend. Die Idee ist gut, aber die Übergänge empfinde ich als zu scharfkantig.
Ich hoffe wir sehnen noch viel von dir.

Dave,

Thanks for the complment and your comment on the stressed skin effect.

When you look at the diferend rockets around the world you see all kinds of differend forms of the material stress.
For the model I did take a picture made in Mittelwerk as a example



As you can see they are not very soft in there bendings, and on places even sharp.
Will try to get on the next rocket more close to the pictures I have, but it is everytime a experiment how it will look after painting.

Happy Easter

Fröhliche Ostern

Gruss Bert
