  1. looking better and better with each post :)

    I have a question thou - where do you get information regarding the yellow cables, fuel lines and other similar details?

     

    Best regards,

    Sasho

     

     

    Hi Sasho,

     

    thanks for your compliments. Most of the fuel lines are included with the kit, the yellow wiring I did after pictures from the museum plane and of course with a little artistic freedom. Lol

  2. After building in the tanks and start to weather them, I close the wings and start to paint them. It came out to dark and it looks now more like mahagony then plywood! Lol

    So now let it dry for one week ( I hate that!!) and then the gloss varnish and weathering.

     

    Thanks

  3. Weekend!!!! So I build the gear:

    As I have with the painting anyway a artistic licence, I decided to paint the not metal parts in RLM 84.

    And my hot loved masking, for the metal part's

    On the right side it's sprayed with Vallejo Steel Metallic and then on the left it's added Uschi van der Rosten Metallic powder's.

    So the moment of truth, peeling of the masking tape

    Of course the weathering is missing, but I think I like the effect.

  4. Was a little busy the last time, but finally I found my bench! Lol

     

    Finished the frame, not much to say then: first I thought Oh my god!!! That will be complicated. But the fit and the way the parts belong together, I must say: it was easy. I painted the MK 103 gun and made a few more cuts over the left engine. I decided to let the right engine closed, so that you can see the cool style from that bird.

    May some of you remember my He 162 with the open engine, I love to make some wiring. So I tried, with artist freedom to replicate the original cable trees.

  5. Maybe boring, but I also start the 1/32 Ho 229  :rolleyes:  Most importent for me: it will not a crashed one! Lol

     

    Ok let's start:

     

     

    Our 50 sprues of grey:

    beginning with the engines and my new metal powders from Uschi van der Rosten

    Building the frame. Must say that this kit is just a joy to build, easy and the fit is perfect!

    Also the engine: first Vallejo silver metallic and then Metallic P, love the effect of the powder.

    The tubes delivered with the kit are just great and amazing how fine ZM is able to mould them. So great care must be taken when cutting them out.

    After gluing the tubes, I weathered the hole stuff with AK Grease and Vallejo pigments:

    Think that a little wire ad interest.
