    He 219/Avia LB-79

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey all,

     

    Been 3 1/2 years since I posted this thread.

    A lot has changed since then,  my divorce was final, lost my house, gained a new fiancee, moved to Florida, sold 90% of my stash, (including the He 219 I originally started this thread with) got away from the hobby for a time, gained three more grandchildren, yeah, its been a ride.....;)

     

    But I'm trying to get back into building again, so I reactivated my account and here I am.  .

    So, did we ever come to a consensus of what the colors were for this aircraft?

     

    Cheers,  Ian

    Thanks everyone. :)

     

    Rick,

     

    It's November now, and my wife and I just went swimming at the beach in St Augustine. 

     

    Being raised in Ontario and Michigan my whole life, that's a concept that's hard to grasp :lol:

     

    Cheers,   Ian

    Hey all,

     

    Just to let you guys know I'm still alive.  Its been a busy year or so for me.  Made a move from Michigan to Florida for a new job.

     

    I had to sell a lot of my stash and use the money for moving.    I haven't worked on anything in quite a while. 

     

    I actually have a dedicated workshop now, but its too hot to do anything.  Well, hot for me, anyway :lol:

     

    Anyway, I hope to start on something soon...

     

    Cheers,            Ian

    Rutman 190D-13 conversion

    Hey all,

     

    Just picked up a Hasegawa 32nd scale 190D-9 junker from a buddy and lo and behold, what did I find?.... a Jerry Rutman D-11 and D-13 conversion sets hiding in the bottom of the box....

    The fusleage sides, these were warped real bad.  I used my Revell D-9 fuselage parts to realign them the best I could.  Hot water treatment...

    Prop hubs, blades, and wheel well insert...the blades were twisted and the hubs were all squished, one almost flat, wierd

    He got it off of eBay and and stole the wings out of it, and gave me whats left.  I don't think he knew what he had.

     

    The castings were crude, at first I thought they might be bootlegs, but some of the guys over on LSP told me that some of Jerry's early castings could be kind of rough. 

     

    I don't care, I have two conversion sets to work with :thumbsup2:

     

    Anyone have a set of 190D wings laying around? :lol:

     

    Cheers,   ian
