Sturmovik Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It was nice to finally open again Revell Germany´s rectangular blue box. I had built this model twice in the past, both times I ended up with a mess instead of a plastic model (the second time I ended with melted plastic because I used too much glue on my weight in the nose), but this time I got a fully assembled aircraft without much trouble. Time has not been kind to the model, the moulds are worn, resulting in a lot of flash, particularly in the lower nose assembly. Instructions forget to mention to open holes for the lower antennae and the circular one over the fuselage. I was able to open the hole for the circular one, but the lower one won´t be present on this model. Tomorrow I´ll try to begin and finish painting it, so I can decal it the next day.

Sturmovik Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) On the final paint stages, the RLM 81/82 unions were sanded with a 2000 grit sandpaper, the only thing remaining is to paint the undersides with light blue and the engine intakes in aluminium.
