Ettore Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi All Finally first shots........... Having a detail set, I enjoyed it, almost, to paste some photo-etched on the wings Then I glued together and well stops ......... And then I moved to the interior, it has been long and estenunate, as you see I scratchbuilt some details As you see, some photoetched are in RLM 66, I have to figure out if the interiors of the african period were RLM 02 or RLM 66, I think RLM 02 colors, but I'll paint the box black and leave the front in RLM 66, also for contrast. See you soon ! Ettore 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Nice detail work on the wings and inside the fuselage Ettore. I'm not 100% sure about the interior colour but like you I tend to think that it would be RLM 02. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Hello Finally I terminated the cockpit, two week to do a cockpit in a long time.....anyway I think that the result is sufficient However, after closing, I found out that I made a mistake , we do not perceive? Maybe I can fix Ettore Edited November 13, 2016 by Ettore 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Nice going Ettore, the cockpit looks fantastic. I would think you would get the engine mount in at this stage, I found the wing supports (the ones that go from the top of the wing, to the supports that go to the fuselage.)quite brittle and had to do some repair on the sprue.
