I'm usually a firm Cold War man (with a fair bit of modern), but recently I've been getting rather interested in the last days of the Reich and the aircraft that they were producing: I love the idea that while these apocalyptic battles were going on closer and closer to Berlin, Nazi scientists worked feverishly using untapped technologies to create devastating new superweapons to unleash on the allies...well, you get the idea! So I ended up buying the 1/72 kit of an aircraft that's actually been thrown into the limelight recently with the Zoukei-Mura 1/32 kit. It's been in my stash for a couple of months now but with halloween approaching, I thought that it would be a good time to build this undoubtedly sinister looking aircraft. Lovely box art showing the Go229 in action: Nicely detailed fuselage: Cockpit parts in place and given a quick blast of rattlecan Humbrol Dark Sea Grey Wings clamped and drying: Instrument panel painted and decaled: Seat basecoated in Tamiya XF-61 Dark Grey, painted in Vallejo Model Air American Blue, harness straps and headrest done in XF-60 Dark Yellow, buckles done in XF-56 Metallic Grey, then the whole thing washed in Citadel Devlan Mud Off camera, I also gave the cockpit area a wash and did the rails and picked out the details in Metallic Grey Until next time!

Hey lads! Picked up this bad boy for christmas. It will be my first proper aircraft model. I have previously built a P-51 and the crappy Airfix B-25, but I wont count them as they are half finished and in very poor condition haha. So far this kit has been a gem, quality is outstanding, and everything (so far) fits together perfectly. Hope you guys enjoy this build thread. I will keep you updated on progress. Cheers. So far, the cockpit area is 75% complete, still have to do some paint touch ups & details, I'm pretty happy with the seat (Pics dont do it much justice). Also have to finish painting and weathering the engine. Any tips with this build would be appreciated
