Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 3, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 3, 2022 More fitting. Needed to really thin a few panels to fit over the engine. Almost there. Then on to the guns. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine mountings may have taken some beating and twisting in the crash process anyway, resulting in a crooked engine ... Love the detailing and finish Hubert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Jeroen Fingers crossed the engine fix will be easier then it seems. Of course, Hubert's reasoning is perfect! Keep 'em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 4, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2022 Managed to fix the problem. Reinstalled the engine. Also fixed the angle of the mg131’s. For some reason the Eduard brassin set lets them aim to far upwards. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looks really sharp Jeroen, however it seems that the cowling ring has a downward angle, maybe it's just a distortion of the lens, if so, please disregard . Cheers Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin Just checked. Only looks that way. Thank god! More work on the base. Weathering and ordered a engraved data plate to go on the base. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidd88 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Utterly stunning sir, bravo! Just a thought, if the model is "under repair" in the diorama, it'd be normal to put the undercart legs onto axle-stands, or large wooden blocks, rather than having the bottom of the oleo's on the ground, I would think, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
