    Hi guys,

     

    I was browsing all the fine builds here yesterday and forgot to update my own progress.

     

    i´m in such a ¨"riveted" mode that I continued on with that leaving the cockpit for the time being.

     

    All the surfaces minus the mainwing, siderudder, elevators and tailplan are done.

     

    The mainwing comes in 8 parts I had some issues getting everything to lineup in all dimensions, so I´ll need some time filling and sanding everything smooth.

     

    all the best

    Thanks Ralph!

     

    Well, after a teidious rivet session, a sore back and finding out that at least the smithsonian Ta152H-0 has dubble rows of rivets( I pretend I didn´t see it:P).

    the fuselage is done...Pew!

     

    Now it´s time for the cockpit.

    I´ll use most of the kit parts except the I.P and side consoles. I just found several photo etch in the box I never knew that I had(!).

    it is the cockpit, service access panels and landingflaps.. I don´t know if I dare to try my hands at that- it looks quite coplicated..

     

    I´m not sure wich machine I will go with.. Normally I don´t like captured A/C, but Jeroen´s 202 looks quite good and the American Ta152H-1 looks very messy, dirty wich gives me great oppertunity to work on my weathering techniqes.. what you fine gentlemen think, any suggestions?

     

    any how, here´s the last we see of the unpainted fuselage before priming.

    I found that if I gently sand down the rivets with fine mesh or such and then ink and seal with semigloss I have(I think) a very convincing pre shade that don´t come thru the paint( I use ink makers- sometimes it comes tru and ruins the finish).

     

    All the best

    Thanks Mikster,

     

    For me it's soothing and makes it easier to paint, shade and weather..

     

    Wackyracer:

     

    I went along all tooo fast with the riveting.. looking at the Smithsonian fluselage there should be dubble rows on allmost all longitudinal strentheners on the fuselage.. I don't know if I will correct this on mine but thought you might wanted to know.

     

    Happy new year!
