  1. Lovely! Have this kit too in the stash with all the goodies. AND want to build Falck's mount as well. I have several autographs of him, signed photo's and even a hand written letter in which he writes to a pilot he shot down once. Will follow this!
  2. This is where I need to pay attention. The cmk armament set was not designed to go with the eduard flaps. The rear of the armament set is also modelled in the pe flap. So either cut that section from the flap or sand down the bottom resin detail and join the two. Tricky
  3. Added a shim to the front of the pit.
  4. First work on the armament bay
  5. Spent the day cutting and sanding the armament bay and flaps. Most work goes into the thinning of the plastic around the edges.
  6. Preparing to close the fuselage. Some weird issues bit nothing i can’t fix. Luckily. It’s Special Hobby and not Tamiya. Just need to keep that in mind. Opened another small hatch to give room to the filler cap of the red small tank on the right side, situated below the fuel tank. Can’t remember what it was for.
  7. I have been warned by Cees Broere and am expecting a battle :))
  8. Basic colours are on the oil tank (interior green) and self healing fuel tank (brown. Should be black, but brown is more interesting in the overall scheme i think.)
  9. Seat installed. the HGW seatbelts in this case were no treat. Bad fit of buckles, not matching instructions to actual parts. Made them work with spare Luftwaffe buckles.
  10. Still working on the pit. The seat is a resin seat from CMK. Adding wiring to the instruments now. Can’t wait to close the fuselage and move on!
  11. It doesnt look like much yet, but at least i’m making some progress. Additional wiring will be added and lots of weathering.
  12. To be able to proceed with the cockpit, i need to paint some sub assemblies. The black is just a primer. Also added the photo etch canopy rails.
  13. Only a few moments a day to spent at the bench. Happy with only doing small things. Resin seat, photo etch compass bracket.
  14. A lot of care and time is needed to properly clean the parts from flash. And to cut of detail that will be replaced by Eduard photo etch.
  15. Hi Kevin, Cees is doing fine! We live closeby and frequent model shows together. One of my best friends. Here’s the fuel tank coming along. Ofcourse, also here a part is missing, so had to scratch this.
  16. Cees Broere gifted me this kit. Started cutting it up to show the fuel tank. A lot of staring at the different instructions that come into play and the order of things is crucial. Eduard cockpit, CMK fuel tank and Special Hobby plastic.
  17. First subassemblies ready for paint. Had to use the resin exhausts sadly. The Moskit exhausts are not designed to be shown all the way since they don’t have the attachment detail at the base. I have to paint these parts first before mating them and add more wiring and hoses.
  18. Haven’t clocked much benchtime lately, but today managed to clean up more resin parts and glue them on.
  19. Forum member Towerpower gifted me a set of Moskit metal exhausts. These come on a square tube. To install them on a bare engine they need to be seperately sawn off. Looks like i can make it work. Thnx!!
  20. The tolerances on this kittle kit are tiny. There’s a lot of cleanup and dry fitting. I clean up about 3 or 4 parts every session and see this engine block slowly growing.
