Brad Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I've had this kicking around the stash many years. I really like the Revell Luftwaffe '46 kits and wish they'd have done more of them. I just like how absurd this thing is, two seats, twin 30mm in the cockpit, 20mm barrettes and a forward firing 20mm in a mini turret thing. It's great lol I lost the decals to it, but that doesn't really matter, hell I might even make it Hungarian or something. I've also gotten rid of the box as it;s one of those horrid side opening things that get crushed in the stash, although the artwork is cool, fighting B-29's and all. I'll build this in between my larger project which is a 1/32 Su 25. Edited October 12, 2019 by Brad 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Nice! I've got a couple in my stash, so I'll be watching this. I don't think I've ever seen one built before. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I really love Luft 46 stuff, will enjoy this one. The 1/32 SU-25 too, yes, what if Barbarossa went the other way...a Luft 25! Nice idea for a what if.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 A little bit of a start over the weekend. These Revell kits are generally a pretty nice fit. Only thing I've changed is I'm going to put the rear barbetts in at a later time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Well I spoke too soon about the fit. The nose wheel well and insert needed some filling and sanding, after I had shaved down the bottom of the cockpit and top of the well itself to get the fit closer. Moving into the engines, everything was going well until.... ...and this gap. Strangely the other nacelle didn't suffer this problem so it might have been a molding issue. The tail planes were thankfully a painless fit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Ok. the other wing is on and some paint is on the interior. You won't see much once the canopy goes on. I've also worked out that I can add the barbet guns after paint, which makes things easier. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Final bits and pieces on and a little blue paint. You can't see it but I also added a bomb rack to the underside of the fuselage. Why?. Well the machine in the instructions says it's from KG 76, so technically a bomber squadron. I've got a nice big devil dropping a bomb for the nose art too. I went for RLM 82 light green with RLM 83 dark green patches and I think I will put some RLM 76 squiggles over the top like an Me 262 colour scheme. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Some more camo, done with a brush so I got a nice hard line. I stole the idea for the camo from a Messerschmitt 262. Gloss is also on, nearly time for decals! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Project P.1099B was more elegant, http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_p_859596.html#859596 Revell model it's bad caricature on Project P.1099B, because she have poor nose. Making new, more geometry accurate nose on base Revell P.1099B possibly, but it's hard way with putty & sandpaper: (photo my P.1099B from link above, made before 2014) B.R.

Brad Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 I wasn't too worried about the nose Serge, it was afterall just a paper project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's just paper project, but Revell maked him more paper and more unlogics from the point of view of the designer of aircraft and aerodynamic. Only this. B.R.
