Mihailo1994 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hello all! Few months ago i finally managed to get w.12! I don't have too much of wnw kits, and when i saw oportunity to buy w.12, it was a must for me Starting with cockpit! Wood grain was done with acrilyc pencils + coat of clear orange Waiting for HGW seatbelts, GasPatch turnbuckles and Wotan prop from Proper Plane! Huge thanks to Carl Weaver, Karol Konwerski and Kamil Trembacz for help and input!! 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 That wood interior looks great, and the detail on the IP is exceptional. Will you add levers to the switches on the left side? I used some lead wire on my build, which I flattened with pliers. It's a great kit and I'm sure you will the build. Cheers Rob 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihailo1994 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Thanks Harv and Rob! I will Rob! I spent half day on instrument panel..i think i've cleaned it 3-4 times, as i didn't like how wood grain turned out lol now happy with result! Here is photo of engine bay, before washes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Your Hansa Brandenburg will look awesome. I went the same way, using the Aviattic Lozenge for mine and they were a joy to work with. It's a great kit, where you can concentrate completely on painting and weathering. I'm eagerly looking forward for your progress.

Mihailo1994 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Had to do some operations lol I wanted to wrap thread around wheel but it ended way to much messy..couldn't remove it so i made brass ring, and used copper wire to wrap it around and glue middle section back in! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihailo1994 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Cockpit almost finished! Decided not to get HGW seatbelts, as they didn't shipped them after 7days after order. I'm a bit impatient hahah so waiting for another 2-3 weeks just for seatbelts was a no no for me 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihailo1994 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thanks guys! I must say that i started with modeling last year, and although i have started like all my 5-6 wnw kits that i managed to buy from last year to present hahahah i haven't finished any! At some point i just stopped working as i thought something is missing and i'm not able to give them 100% On this build, it will be finished, and as my second model ever! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
