Arniec Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, I will build a Mistel I in 1/32 scale. I will use a Revell/Hasegawa Messerschmitt Bf-109 G2 as the leading airplane. For the flying bomb I will use the Revell Junkers Ju-88 A4 kit with the Aims Mistel I conversion set. I think I have some extra's for the Bf-109. I will place some foto's later.

Mottlemaster Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have been looking forward to seeing your build of the Aims conversion for some time . This is going to provide some quality entertainment . Cheers Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Thanxs guys for the confidence in me. I hope I can pull it of. The most difficult part will be the mating of the two models.

I have got a 91 square meters (270 square feet) model shed in the back of the garden. So I will manage.

Arniec Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Here are some pictures of the models I will use and some goodies. The donorkit for the Ju-88 is from Revell. With it's content For the Bf-109 I will be using a Revell Bf-109 G4/Trop. This was a reboxing of a Hasegawa kit. I have lost the boxs a couple of moons ago, so here is a link to one. This one is from Momogram, but it's the same kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/193078-monogram-85-5981-messerschmitt-bf-109g-4-tropical I have also got for this model a cockpitset from MDC and some exhausts from Quickboost. I have also got some earlier resin wheels and these were a left over from a Hasegawa kit. Here are the instructions from the kit. and the content of the box. And here is the conversion set from AIMS (again Thanxs John). I won this last year with the Junkers Ju-88 Groupsbuild. take a look here for my build. The complete set. And now only the nose cone. It is big!!!!! And finally the books I will be using as a refference. That is it for now. I hope to start it this Sunday.

Mottlemaster Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just thinking Arnold, is there any chance that this could be a nose sitter with that largelump of resin out front ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Alistair, my thoughts exactly! Good luck Arnold, you sure have a lot to do in three months but you'll make it 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Arnold, you sure have a lot to do in three months but you'll make it 👍 Hi Guys, The nose is hollowed out, So it will be ok. But to be sure I will put some extra lead in the tail of the Ju-88. 3 months must be doable. The Ju-88 will be a fast build without the first 50 stages to do the cockpit.

Mottlemaster Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just been going through Large Scale planes postings for the past few months and came across Aims new bulged canopy for the 109 used with (some ) mistels http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=67077 Somethig else to spend some money on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wow!, this going to be some build, I'm feeling like a mere mortal with my 'out the box' Eduard build! Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 WOW you do plan big Arnold!! I'm so glad to see one of these in the build, both of them will keep you really busy! Though it should be a fairly straight forward build. I had planned to join in with AMG's new Bf-109B, but this trip started so late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Thanx guys, I have made some progress today. Because there is no need for a cockpit in the Ju-88 this can go fast. Here are some pictures. O, I need to remember it will be big. The first thing to do was to make the tailwheel parts. here a picture without and later painted with RLM02 from Tamiya over a coat of black. Now that was finished I put the fuselage together with all the ribs etc. This was done in about 20 minutes. As it was taped I removed the front part for the war head. This was done on the line from the cockpit edge and front of the bulkhead. Than I put some strips in the front to support the warhead. And I thinned down the inner lip of the warhead so the strips will fit. As you can also see the resin warhead is hollow. It is still heavy enough, so before I closed the fuselage earlier I placed some lead in the tail. And Finally the warhead was matted to the fuselage. The fit was quite good. There are a few small gaps, but nothing really serious. It is a big sucker, but looks good. Now it will be time to do the wings.

BerndM Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Looks like a promising start. A Mistel in 1:32 is a stunning sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Nice start Arnold, I didn't realise that it was a flying bomb. I always thought they were attached to a two engine aircraft for extra range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Very nice start to an ambitious project. I've seen the 1/72 italeri kit and it was sizable. Your 1/32 version should be a real show stopper! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have glued the wingtips to their own wing part. This gives me a better control to it and also a smooth wingtip to wing surface. I think there will be a small gap on the front and back, but that is easier to clean up later than to get the wingtips faired in. And another plus will be that all the detail will be preserved. After this has dried I will glue the wings together and then it will be some time to clean up all the seams. I have no pictures, but will do them later.

Arniec Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) This evening I have glued the wings together. There are some small gaps, but nothing special to be concerned about. Here are two pictures. The wings still needed to be glued, but with the added wingtips.When glued the wingtips needed on some corners a bid of a swipe with the sanding stick. And test fitted to the fuselage. As you can see there is a gap, but that is more that it is a tight fit and I don't want to push it jet. I think I will swipe the bulkheads with a sanding stick to get a easier fit later. That is it for now.

Mottlemaster Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Dispite the size this looks like a easy , first time conversion project for someone getting into the more unusuall . I think we can be sure that Revell wont issue this as a kit any year soon . (if they do i will build an eduard 1/48 bf110 in my underpants.)... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headbreaking will start with the trapese where the 109 needs to go on. You never know if Revell will bring one out. They did a Mistel a few years ago with the Ta-154. So....... I think you should go for some clean underpants. O and don't forget to get a Eduard 110. But I think you still have got a few in the stash, just like me.

I look forward to more. Yep, If you take a closer look at the green mat, than you will notice it is a A2 cutting mat. I will have to see if I can get it after the build in a glass cabinet or something else. Maybee I should get a plastic box for transport later in the year.
