  1. good weathering techiques! looks good, nice painting
  2. they are RATO boosters, after take off they were dropped and sailed back to the ground on chutes
  3. yes, getting the nose right was a bit tricky, my dad glued in the dipoles first and then all together with the nose piece onto the rest of the cockpit the scheme is assumed/hypothetical, as I mentioned, no pics of a complete a/c, not known if Bonow´s machine kept the standard splinter camo or received a NF camo
  4. a little cutie! I wish Airfix would do a 1/48 version...
  5. looks good! nice painting and weathering, especially the figures
  6. and yet again a sweet 1/72 work! looks great, good weathering
  7. wow, 1/72? awesome work! I especially like your metal treatment
  8. #14/2016 As with a lot of late war Luftwaffe projects, also with the Ar234 nightfighter project, there are different info sources that differ and no, hardly any or not yet published pics. In late 1944 the Erprobungskommando Ar234 or Sonderkommando Bisping was establishe, led by Major Joseph Bisping. If it´s true, four Ar234 were used for nightfighter testing but it is not known if every machine was completely converted to a nightfighter. Bisping died in a take-off crash in February 1945. Afterwards Major Kurt Bonow took over command. It was assumed that Bisping crashed due to blinding reflexions from the runway lights in/on the glass nose, therefore Bonow painted the underside of his nose black. Bonow made one combat sortie without any success. In April 1945 the Ar234 nightfighter project was abandoned. Hasegawa kit, sadly decals weren´t useable anymore so I spent spome money, bought the Revell edition and my dad used these decals for the model, rest is oob, seatbelts added, antenna with EZ Line, Naxos radar cover on the "shoulder" is a piece from the sparebox. The model shows how the a/c of Major Bonow could have looked like. As I mentined above, there are no pics of that show a complete aircraft, only some partial pics on which you don´t see any camo pattern or markings. Mosquito hunters united
