Good to be back at the bench Evert! Was it not easier to detail paint the NLG before assembly? Or did you not glue it yet? Remy.

Another stunner Sid! Great work!

Looking very nice! Really like the weathering! I've recently received a Hasegawa 48th scale kit from a very good friend, didn't know which livery to build from this kit. Until now! Thanks for the inspiration! Remy.

Very nice and crisp work Elger! I'll be following along! Remy.

Thanks very much Ray! There's an excellent photo which I can use. Remy.

Never knew this conversion was even possible! This will be a impressive one! Don't you just love 3d printing? I'll be on your six with this build! Remy.

Thanks for your reply Richard! I have received this diagram from Steve Long, posted with his permission. Copyright Steve Long. I have also found this image: Copyright in photo. I think I should manage to get something scratchbuild, although it will be very small.. Thanks! Remy.

Thanks Ray for passing the question on! Keep me posted! Steve, I've just send you a PM. Thanks! Remy.

Thank you Ray, these are the images which I've found to. As I'm looking to scratch build one I'm looking for some more. Thanks. Remy.

Hi all! As I'm building a RAAF MB326H Macchi, the A7-022 carrying the 55th anniversary scheme, I need some good photo's of the gunsight. Not all Macchi's were carrying a gunsight, but 75 sq did often carry them. There are to types of gunsights used by the RAAF Macchi's, I'm looking for the one with camera attached. All images, of all types are more then welcome! Thanks! Remy.

This is a very nicely build P-39, although the pictures doesn't do it justice, it looks way better in real life! Nice Sid, on to the next build! Remy.

Looking really nice! You almost got me tempted to buy a model from Kitty Hawk! Really looking forward to the painting stage! Remy.

On the home stretch Sid!, looking sharp! Strange that the Furball decals are that much off size wise..

Really nice build Helix! Superb job, Sir! Never thought of building a helo but every time seeing a Helix build I got more and more excited! Thanks for sharing!

Stunning build! Really like the props! That was a brave move, removing your windscreen! Luckily everything worked out! Looking forward to the final result!

Really nice BF! Can't remember seeing such a great winter finish! Everything looks spot on! Nice! Remy.

Very nice project! Really like the overall finish and all the little details! Great job Sir!

Cockpit done, just needs a flat coat.IMG_5639 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrIMG_5638 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrInterior / Main wheel bay painted, and washed.IMG_5642 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrEverything is ready for the closing of the fuselage:IMG_5643 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrFirst I glued everything in on the left fuselage part, fit is really nice!IMG_5645 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThis kit has the radio compartment in the back of the fuse, I'll be closing the little hatch on the fuselage so no painting was done, just for strengthening glued in place.Fuselage closed up!IMG_5647 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrWhilst the glue was drying I started cutting out the flaps.IMG_5649 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrIMG_5653 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrNot sure if I'm going to do the slats also...As the gun compartment will be closed, I wanted to see how the was going to be as the kit is intended to build with open doors..As you could see I have to do some work..IMG_5650 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThanks for watching!Remy.

Hi all! My fist wip on the forums, I hope you'll enjoy! Kit: Hobby Boss Me-262B-1a no.80378.Aftermarket: Brassin wheels 648106 Eduard cockpit PE FE705Decals: Paint masks from Montex, stenciling from kit decalsI'll be building Me-262B-1a/U1 "Rote 10" (Red 10) Werknummer 110635, as it flew with the famous "Kommando Welter" officially known as 10./NJG 11 from Schleswig in Germany.This Me-262B was build as Me-262A-2a in Leipheim in October 1944. She was converted to a Me-262B-1a/U1 bij Lufthansa in Berlin Staaken in early 1945.According to flight logs available she made her first flight on March 17th 1945 an probably delivered to "Kommando Welter later that month".When the war came to an end, she was captured by US forces and later handed over to the British Forces and was taken to the UK. It has been said that she had been in the UK in 1946 and 1947 although her final faith is unknown. She is probably scrapped.IMG_5501 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrOn this photo you can see Kurt Welter (left) on the wing of Rote 10 in May 1945. post-804-1202422439 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrHere is Rote 10 in her British markings after the war.The reason I choose this aircraft is because of her scheme, this is the only one we know of wearing this scheme:Rote10-2 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThe bottom is painted black like all other German nightfighters, but Rote 10 has the same camo pattern on the wings as on the one on the fuselage. Other Me-262B's had the green / black camo on the wings.Alright, this is the kit I'll be using:IMG_5622 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThis kit doesn't have the correct decals for Rote 10, I have found Montex masks (http://www.montex-mask.com/en/home willing to cut me some masks for the "Rote 10", Balkenkreuzen, Werknummers and swastika's. More on that later.The nightfighter 262's were equipped with a radar and radar equipment, all the necessary bits are in this boxing, but not in the instructions.Like with most aircraft kits we start with the cockpit:IMG_5592 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrCockpit assembled with some PE rudder pedals. Also all detail is sanded of to accommodate other bits of PE.IMG_5598 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrI always like to start with a black (XF69 Nato Black) coat for the shading effect, I'll be lighting it up with some other (dark) grey's after the other PE has been placed.The IP got some wiring, as these will be visible.IMG_5596 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThis kit also contains some metal parts. The bottom of the gun compartment and NLG bay is from metal, good casting and good overall fit!IMG_5595 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrI won't be displaying the gun doors open, so no further detailing was done.The inside of the fuselage was painted gloss black followed by Alclas Stainless Steel (ALC115).IMG_5603 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrThe IP has gotten the Eduard treatment:IMG_5604 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrI do think Eduard's colors are way off, they don't represent RLM66. The have a purple-ish color instead of black / grey. I will try blending them in with some oil washes.The cockpit after a clear coat and ready for some washes:IMG_5625 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrA quick dry-fit is showing an great fit from this HobbyBoss kit!IMG_5591 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrIMG_5590 by Remy Janssen, on FlickrComments en critiques are welcome! Remy.

The middle image is new for me, and clearly shows the Werknummer on the tail. Thanks for sharing @shadowmare!

Very nice! Great overall finish. I'm building the same a/c at the moment in 48th scale, do you have any photographic evidence of the presence of the werknummer on the tail? Remy.

Really nice result! Like the attention to details and the paintwork! Also your shiny canopy is very attractive! Remy..

Looking really sharp Sid! Like the shading you've applied. Great work on the PE for the nozzles!

Hi all! I'm in the middle of a 1/48 revell F-4 Phantom FGR.2. Whilst working on the fuel tanks and browsing some photos I noticed differences in fuel tanks mounted on British Phantoms. Some look longer and much more pointed than others? Is it just me or were there more types used by the RAF? And are the fuel tanks included in the kit correct? Size wise.. Thanks! Remy.

Another very nice build Rob! I'm looking forward to seeing more jets from you! Any work in progress pictures? Remy..
