Peter Marshall Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Something nice and simple next Started work on the cockpit - still all of the instruments to add, and managed to lose one of the pedals Peter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Nice job, in the office, i have this kit in the stash, i was thinking of doing it in the 262 gb coming up, i shall watch with interest Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I've had one in the stash for several years and I keep looking at it and thinking " I should build this". Perhaps the 262 GB will give me that little push, although my track record with GB is not wonderful ( four started, one finished ). Anyway I'll tag along if I may.

Peter Marshall Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Today's work - lots that you can't actually see, as it looks like you can see a lot less through the fuselage hatch than I thought. Anyway fuselage and wings closed up, will need a little filler, but it's definitely one of Trumpeters better fitting kits Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Today's work - first making a couple of Jumo's. Not spending a lot of effort on these as they will be covered by the nacelles Then adding the panels - ended up removing the guns to add lead shot, as otherwise it would have been a tailsitter. These required a *lot* of fettling and filling to get to fit Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Coming along very nicely indeed. One of my favourite aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Today's work - first a long session adding the nacelles. Bit strange this - one was nearly perfect fit, the other was terrible, but with a lot of fettling they fit Then added the flaps / slats and control surfaces, and masked off the canopy. Still need to mask up the engines and wheel wells Peter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Nice painting scheme, I always wanted to have one of Nowotny´s aircraft. Are you going to extend the slats when you finish painting the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they should on the ground but no, I glued them in place, as much as anything to avoid spraying the RLM02 and masking where they would slide out. Lazy I know :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Today's work - decals. Good points, they are nice and thin, bad points they are terribly fragile, and left me with some jigsaws to re-assemble. Ended up having to mask and spray the yellow band as that decal fell completely apart. Anyway this is how it looks now with another clear coat over the decals Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
