Greetings Friends! Here is my latest build just finished, an excellent Hobby2000 kit which used Hasegawa Plastic, great decals, masks and color drawings. I did use a stew of decals including decal scheme from an old Eagle Strike Ar234 Sheet, and added Peddinghaus decal stencils and used kit Insignia decals. The adds to this kit were the excellent Eduard 'Look' Instrument panel and resin wheel kit. I also used a Hasegawa German Pilot from their WW2 Weapons and figures kit! This pilot assembled and fit wonderfully in the AR234! Minor trimming of bombsite and he looks great in the cockpit! The Paint is Gunsie Mr Color RLM 81/82/76. The Clear is Tamiya Semi Gloss. I had to paint the canopy rivets with a toothpick sharpened to a point. They look good to the bare eye, but zooming in with camera phone shows the painting challenge. I may still just overpaint the canopy frames black. Or someday get custom rivet decals made. What do you guys think of the canopy or other tips you can give? The decal rivets I had handy did not match the framing rivets in spacing so I tried toothpick! Let me know what you think... -
Hi all, I’m about to embark on a fairly major build project on a 1/48th Hasegawa Ar234B-2/N Nachtigall. Have got lots of extras to add and have lots of info and pictures of the more normal beast but very few on the nightfighter version. Records indicate there were only two that actually flew “operationally†so pictures are quite hard to come by. It’s the cockpit that I really need info on, mainly as to whether the bomb site in the daylight version was still fitted to the night time variant? Plus the centre gun pod doesn’t really fill me with confidence when compared to the drawings that are around. If anyone can point me in the right direction with links or pics, that would be great. Plus any additional info would be great on these rare beasts. cheers
