Mr. Hudson Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Hi all, here I want to show you my 1/72 Mistel 2. Kit: A complete kit of the Mistel 2 1/72 was not available, when i built this model. I use a Revell Fw 190 A-8 as upper and a Hasegawa Ju 88 G-1 as lower component. The Kampfkopf (warhead) comes from an Amtech Ju 88 H-3 Mistel-Kit. Original aircraft: Mistel 2 were manufactured from old Ju 88. Arming, radio measurement systems and the cockpit were removed. Instead of the cockpit a 3.5T hollow charge warhead was placed. Depending on the version (different detonators length) it could penetrate up to 17 meters (!) of reinforced concrete. The aircraft should - controlled by an attached Fw 190 - attack exposed targets (ships, bridges, fortifications). The Ju 88 was aligned and unlatched from the Fw 190 in 1 - 1.5 km away from the target, then the "cruise missle" flew the rest of its way by automatic control with an accuracy of +/- 10 m. The problem was that the targets were well defended and the cumbersome aircraft was hardly accurately align in practice and so there was little success. This model: My model was the guide plane of 6. / KG 200. In early 1945 some Mistel 2 should attack the British naval base Scapa Flow. Fortunetly due to the lack of fuel, it did not come to this use. Construction: The biggest challenge was the connection of the warhead with the fuselage. Everthing else was just to finish the two separate kits. Scratch were built:- some Kampfkopf details- removed Fw 190 guns- carrying structure - some cables and hydraulc lines- landing light and pitot tube and other tiny parts. The kit was as painted with Gunze colors. Weathering in brief: Preshading, lightened base colour, Gunze mud on exposed areas with airbrush, Tamiya Smoke for traces of oil and gas plume, various oil colors for dirt and wear. Walkaround: The Fw 190: Some details: Hope you like this. Best regards. Kai Edited December 20, 2014 by Mr. Hudson 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 What a fantastic build, I am really impressed with the painting and weathering and hope that I can get a finish even somewhere close to what you have achieved here. I guess you are aware that Hasegawa have now released this version as a kit (not that you are in need of it), isn't that always the way when you spend so much time carrying out a conversion?

Mr. Hudson Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thank you very much Duncan. The Hasegawa-Kit is new for me. I built my model two years ago and thats the way with all the things ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Superbly executed conversion work, excellent paintwork and a pleasure to look at - bristling with little, fine details. Can you explain why the top of the kampfkopf is that colour? Is it a form of anti-dazzle panel for the FW pilot? Thanks for showing this gem.
