Lovely. Got a couple in the stash and this will serve as a proper guide!

I would think so. There’s an aluminium internal frame that should have created the needed strength.

No way back. Cut out the panels and thinned the edgesz

Thnx guys! Not a lot of bench time this weekend, but i did manage to find good reference photo's to open the panels i wanted. These give access to the Nitro tanks. The top section consists out of 4 quadrants. The others open up to the Funk Gerät. I'll scratch the doors and interior.

Some progress. The cradle is done. The rocket itself is big but consists out of a few parts. Fun will start with the painting.

Here are some snaps i took while visiting the base:

Another in between project that I wanted to do since I visited the Blockhaus D’Eperlecques. A most impressive installation where V2’s were assembled and launched. It was too visible, bombed and operations moved to La Coupole close by. I bought a piece of V2 skin and will display the rocket on it’s cradle together with this relic. Not sure of the scheme yet. I’ll mount the rocket and scheme on a high round wooden base. I think

Done!

Lovely!!

Wasn’t happy with the headlight. The angle was wrong and the glass protruded too much. Sanded it back and polished. Happy now...

Almost there!

Nice start!

Oh my lord!! That is amazing! Good to see this here! Following this with a lot of interest.

Adding the bags

Baby steps! Started painting some details.

Update!

After almost a years' work, she's finished. The Wellington that crashed in my hometown in the night of May 5th 1943 after returning from a bombing run over Dortmund. Shot down by a Bf110 night fighter. Two bailed out, three went down with the plane. I put all the research in this crash and plane that I could do with a lot of help from my friend Cees Broere. I could not have done it without him. To complete this build I have a relic from this particular crash. One of the engine cowling flaps which happens to be in great condition. The black paint is pretty much intact. The base of my model features a RAF recon photo that was taken in 1944. As you can see not much of the crash can be spotted. Caused by the boggy ground we live on. A few weeks ago I noticed that a small memorial plaque was erected at the crash site. Almost exactly at the same time I finished my model. Details added to the model: - Master brass barrels - Eduard interior set - Eduard Interior mid fuselage set - Eduard bomb bay set - CMK bomb bay set (for the resin doors) - Eduard bomb set - Eduard exterior set - Eduard mask set - Maketar masks for all codes, roundels and markings - Eduard seat belt set - Resin wheels The new memorial plaque, with the crash location behind the tree line: The base I fashioned with the marked crash location. The place where my house is today, is bottom left of the crossroad you nee next to the text: The finished model: The crash relic:

Saw this today

A few of you asked me how i was going to paint this when it’s all in one piece. I spray the Olive green as much as possible in the places where it needs to go. After this it’s all brush painting.

Thnx Peter! moving right along. Drilled a hole in the inderside of the engine so i could glue a metal rod in to hold it while painting. Sprayed a thin layer of fine AK black primer.

Hi Peter! Welcome to LSM. Feel right at home and happy modelling! Cheers, Jeroen

Oh my lord... this is amazing. Love those details.
