Wow... do me a favor and post a photo next to a beercan. The LSM way to give a good size indication. respect.

Nice! Thnx for sharing! Will come in handy when i start mine

Some dry fitting on the base! Not much longer now..

Thnx for the tips guys! Decided to spend this evening adding the struts that hold up the cowlings. Made them from 0.3mm copper rods.

Sweet!!

Hi Rob, I've done a couple of tests on left over transparent pieces. But just looking at the way it sits now keeps me from giving it a go... Adding panels now. Note the latches on the right cowling panel in the 2nd photo. That was a b*tch!

Supercool. And I thought assembling tank tracks was tedious. Really cool seeing this from step to step.

Rivet the hell out of it!

Holy Damn...

I know i should... just have a feeling many modellers won't understand and it will take away a sense of quality from the build... Doubting my next move.

Nice.. Looking forward to see it after the AK wash!

Not. Decided not the age the glass. In reality most of it is dust.

More:

Thanks! Almost done. Final bits and bobs. Drilled the holes in the canopy that were actually not holes but containers filled with silica squeezed between the double layered glass to prevent fogging. (You were right Cees ) I did not drill the holes all the way through, but halfway. This comes closest to looking like the real thing. Added latches to the nose cowling: Adding loose brake lines to the gear: (made them from lead wired, wrapped with thin strips of masking tape)

Looking forward to this!

Hope to see you tomorrow at the Flanders show Danny!

Did you place those roundels only to determine the location?

Geez.... that's cool!

Well there is something you don't see every day!! A great depiction of 'what could have been'. Like this a lot.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing!!

Eh... wow.. Not such a fan of blowtorches myself, but this is awesome! Love the mottled effect..

Great safe with the styrene! Verlinden is hit and miss in my experience...

Impressive dose of After Market for an already pretty darn good kit! Looking forward to this..

Nice!! And I see masks too!

With the help of Rick Kranias (who went to great length and the NASM museum) to find out what the top of the wings look like today and Levier (Brian Silcox) who shared valuable photo's with me. Rick pointed me to the Valiant Wings book on the Ta152. I went to the LHS where they happened to have it in stock, but sadly only pics of the undersides. Anyhoo.... This is where I'm at. Interpreting old photo's and using common sense. Ah... and that one dusty photo from the concept notes book... Not done yet, but it's getting there.
