stevej60 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Morning folk's,Matt coated now and time for that glazing! Bottom gondola fitted after painting the gun's in Tamiya gunmetal. And after a near disaster with a spilt liquid poly bottle the cockpit glazing painted and first part fitted and drying.I knocked over a bottle and it spread to where some part's were laying,I had the kit in my hand and knew I couldn't save everything so grabbed the glazing and watched the two torpedo's hit by a tsunami of glue,glad to say they are fine after drying. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Glad everything is safe after the incident with the glue! It all seems to be coming together nicely! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Morning folk's I'm determined to get this one over the finish line now just four pieces of glazing to add which I've painted already,the windows were a tight fit but are now in place 10/10 Airfix for their method of fitting too.I'm very tempted to have a go at Revell's newer Ju88 to go with this one I notice it has two Med based schemes.

DaveyGair Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Superb work Steve, have this kit in the BoB boxing (£20 from 'The Works' last year!), so been watching this with interest. Superb result with the panel line weathering, something I've yet to try doing over the whole airframe. Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Not being into wingy things so much, I've only just popped in to see your work Steve, but I'm glad I did. My favourite WWII German bomber, wonderfully recreated. Superb finish, great colours and camo scheme. A real beauty.

ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Really interesting build Steve, nice to follow the progress, I was surprised at the fit issues- the new Airfix kits seem so much better than the ones we are all used to. Very interested to read about your weathering technique, I will have try it myself, Thank you for showing us your build, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thank's Badder I've got Revells I/48 kit of the Dakota in the stash after seeing it a few week's back I'm now thinking of an RAF scheme for instead of the RAE scheme the sheet has two BBMF incarnation's on the sheet. 1 hour ago, ColinChipmunkfan said: Really interesting build Steve, nice to follow the progress, I was surprised at the fit issues- the new Airfix kits seem so much better than the ones we are all used to.
