  1. Thnx guys, Closed up the fuse. Took some elbow grease. Probably my own doing. Now it's just a matter of sanding, sanding and rescribing some lost detail.
  2. Nice! Would be fun to see some guesses to aircraft types here!
  3. love this kit, this build and the these aftermarket sets. Built it myself not too long ago. Great work. Following this..
  4. And here's the jigs made from thick green card donated by Cees Broere!
  5. Not sure how I'll hide the fuse joint yet, but the fit is fine so should be ok. Here's the engine details: And the first paint. I used AK red primer. Goes on nice with a matt finish. Good for the washes that will follow. Bot too much though.
  6. And... removing the 'step' caused by shrinkage of the intake. Almost gone.
  7. Coming long... Seatlbelts need washes.
  8. Hi Ralph, It sure was a simple cockpit. Here are a couple of shots of a restored sample. The side walls were red brown primer colored. Only the seat (and sometimes the mid console and rear bulkhead) were grey.
  9. And some progress on the engine. First problem i ran into is that the intake suffered from shrinkage, so this will need to be addressed. I sanded of the raised area of the main engine where the photo etch details attach to. One mesh, three rods and one photo etch brace. This brace is too small when checking references. I made one from iron wire. Which is more accurate anyway.
  10. Lookin good! You've got most work done. Usually 60% of time goes into the engine, cowling and pit and the rest in just... finishing it! Keep it up!
  11. Ok. First work on the pit coming along. The instructions are a bit off in places. Numbers are called that don't match the Photo-etch parts. For instance: Photo etch part 83 is told to go into the Reichenberg pit, when it actually belongs on the Ohka Fuselage. Check your references here and it will be fine.
  12. Nice work Rick! Love the seat belts. Keep 'm coming!
  13. That table.. how cool! Would make meetings endurable...
  14. Thnx guys! In the meanwhile I'm figuring out how the parts where secured on the flatbed. This V1 manual shows the jigs. Since I won't place 3 Re-4's, but one, I won't take off the tail. Only the main wings.
  15. Really cool. enjoyed every pic!! Thnx for sharing.
  16. Hi all, Not much spare time for modeling, but enough inspiration to start this project. It's the recently released and reviewed manned V-1 by HPH models. Full resin kit, packed with goodies which will be placed on the 1/35 Trumpeter flatbed railway gondola. The gondola is built and ready for paint. The jig that will hold the Re 4a in place will be scratched. I found a pdf of the v1 manual showing me what i need to do so. Here goes..
  17. As promised! Here are photographs of the two photo-etch frets. Both made by Eduard. One pre coloured one and one in bare brass. Some really nice detail there. The way the kits are made up you can tell HPH is not planning on selling these kits separately.
  18. Amazing Jeroen. Right down to the oil on the axels... Really cool... Congrats. Cheers, Jeroen
  19. Great review and amazing kit by the looks of it. Thanks!
  20. Aaaahhhh... I had the AutoBlinda AB40 on train tracks too but i sold it. As i did the Sahariana... With all the extra's... Restarting a stalled build from 8 yrs ago, makes it feel OK for me to stop working on a kit. You know you can always pick it up when the urge arises!
  21. First paint is on. I sprayed a semi gloss layer as a base coat. Next up: Coat > Chipping agent > desert camo.
  22. Hi Doug, I love it! Especially the cowling sheen. Very nice. Hope you'll find a new windscreen.... Thnx for sharing these! Lovely...
  23. Thnx guys. Here it is. Ready for paint. I'll add some more chains and accessories later. The Black dog stowage set is designed for the Tamiya kit, so I'll have to remove some resin on the bottom in order for it so sit properly.
