Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

Well. yes it could, but is it?

Yes it is OBAman! Lasted a whole 30 min.

Over to you.

[OBAman]

I surprised myself, that was a complete stab in the dark, here's a little something that doesn't seem to show up too often;

OBAman's challenge

Try again OBAman. This is the PA-35 Pocono which we have had twice already see Post #s 42 and 1296. It is in the list shown under the "Sticky" What cockpit and what Aerodrome above.

Kharhov KhAI-1 slihouette

Noyade, you asked -

Was the line drawing/silhouette transformation from Gunston's Russian Aircraft? Reason I ask is I noticed a number of important details seem to be lost in the process.

No, the drawing (shown below) came from one of the Russian websites and this was the drawing from which Lightning Mate produced the silhouette.

[OBAman]

Sorry guys, here's another go which, unless I've mis-read the list (thanks for that) hasn't been on here yet. Its rather crudely converted by myself, if abnyone can tell me a better way I'd appreciate it.

[MReyn24050]

Wild guess T.H.K 5 but not the 5A.

[OBAman]

Pitch perfect! You have control.

[MReyn24050]

Next Challenge.

Thanks OBAman that was a great challenge. I know the T.H.K.5A had tail fin and rudders that were located as end plates to the elevator and thought there was a possibility that the fin and rudders of the T.H.K 5 were to the configuration shown in your silhouette.
Here is the next one, which I am sure will cause no problems.

[Noyade]

Thanks for the explanation above Mel. To me it seems that some of the 3-view lines from the drawing are lost with the 'blackening' process.

Its rather crudely converted by myself

Nicely done OBAman. How did you do that? It would open up a lot more choices if a chump like me could do it.

which I am sure will cause no problems.

For some Mel! Is it the Piaggio P.150?

[Noyade]

On second thoughts, lock my answer in as the Valmet Vihuri. (I think).

[OBAman]

You beat me to it Noyade, I was about to plump for the Valmet Vihuri too, I'm sure thats it.

Do you have a programme like Paint Shop Pro? I tried just colouring in the line drawings at first but it looked awful. I found that it worked better on one I've just done (in case I ever get one right again, lol) where I did a reasonably large res scan (600dpi) then filled in the outside of the drawing in black, rather than the drawing itself, plus details like windows etc and then negativized it and shrank it for posting. It looks ok on the pc, I just need to see how it looks on screen now. Maybe someone knows an easier way?

Mel's Challenge

Noyade has it it is the Valmet Vihuri
You have control
Mel

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel.

Do you have a programme like Paint Shop Pro?

Unfortunately not OBAman. All I have is Windows Paint. I thought if I scanned a line drawing I could "fill" the desired areas with black paint. No luck. I'm guessing that since it was scanned the lines aren't recognised as computer drawn therefore filling isn't possible? I tried with this but failed...

This is a bit off-thread but I'm sure nobody will resent it...
I'm very interested in turkish aircrafts but sofar I have been unable to find a website with a proper picture of T.H.K.5 (or 5A for that matter).
Can you help me out?

carson1934's request.

Here is a photograph of the T.H.K.5 that appears in the Flight Archives, complete with scribble.

[OBAman]

No, not the Bv 222 I think.

Rather the BV FG.227, a quarter scale testbed for the BV.238. The canopy looks too big relative to the rest of it to be anything else?





(not my model)

[carson1934]

It can't be the Blohm &Voss BV/222 the engine cowlings are quite different and also the general outlook doesn't tally. I agree with Obaman it must be that scaled model produced by a team of austrian students (I have the same picture as Obaman but now I can't locate it)...
carson1934

Yes, Flugtechnische Fertigungsgemeinschaft FFG-227, it was worked out by a team of czech (not austrian) students at the Prague university in 1944 driven by six two stroke engines ILO

[carson1934]

Thanks very much Mel,
as they say in the States you're a scholar and a gentleman

[Noyade]

Rather the BV FG.227, a quarter scale testbed for the BV.238

That's the one.

All yours OBAman.
