CANicoll Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Your IP and seat are brilliant. Beautifully done! How did you make the seat pad and what did you use for the string/rope? Dental floss? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 3 Author Administrators Share Posted August 3 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! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Lovely use of pencils, subtle but with quite direct effect. In other words, "Me likey ! " 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 6 Author Administrators Share Posted August 6 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. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I've always had issues getting the HGW belts together. Sometimes with good results, sometimes not. Nice work on yours, sir! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 12 Author Administrators Share Posted August 12 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.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Beautiful work on the cockpit Jeroen. Have you checked the fit of the cockpit between the two MLG bays? I've heard it's very tight and doing a dry fit on the kit I have shows it wont work without some significant sanding of both the cockpit and the bays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Beautiful cockpit work, Jeroen. I have the Tempest kit but still, following along closely with what you are doing. Agree on the brown, self-healing tank. Def more interesting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I'm most impressed with how realistic that hand is in the photographs! Must be 3D printed or a super accurate resin cast it is so life-like.... 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Stunning Jeroen, goood luck with the fitting into fuselage, Cees is right, had to grind a lot of the frame away fit. Maybe you will lucky 🤞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 20 Author Administrators Share Posted August 20 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Jeroen at this point for me in the build I had the wings already built having heard other had issues building the WW's.If I did what you have and maybe you get lucky the wing and fuse would go together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
