Here are pictures of von Schmirk's cowl-forming buck. Bernard will shape the aluminium sections using an English wheel and suitable mallets.
I look forward to the results with eager anticipation.

September 26, 2008 - Von Schmirk's Habicht cowl
Group,
This is a dramatic photograph of Von Schmirk's engine cowling which he's been English wheeling. A fine piece of work I'm sure everyone would agree and the result is a handsome and rather aggressive looking front end, with just the suggestion of a sneer on the cooling mouth, nichts wahr, Fabian von Schneer? I wonder how the other Z-1B is progressing!

November 14, 2008 - Finished Cowling
Here's a series of new pictures from Chips von Schmirk. Apart from a few jobs like fitting the pitot and making the upper cowl cooling slits, G-ERTI is complete. Engine runs are eagerly awaited. The present (test) propeller is about 6" undersize by the way.
She's looking grand, Chips.
