Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 23 Author Administrators Share Posted August 23 Spent the day cutting and sanding the armament bay and flaps. Most work goes into the thinning of the plastic around the edges. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 27 Author Administrators Share Posted August 27 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 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 4 Author Administrators Share Posted September 4 Painted the armament bay. Just because it’s impossible to do later. Now to the rear of this bay. It needs to be lower Photo etch part and upper cmk resin. This will require a lot of modification. We’ll see… 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 18 Author Administrators Share Posted September 18 The photo etch flap under the armament bay. To obtain upper detail i’ll need to seriously thin the resin upper part. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 26 Author Administrators Share Posted September 26 This is by no means shake and bake. A week of sanding, fitting and more sanding got to to a decent fit between fuse and wings. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 27 Author Administrators Share Posted September 27 Dryfitting the engine. So far so good. Cees warned me for gulwings if the pit and fuse pushed the wings apart. You see this often with this model turning it into a Stuka. Glad that after a lot of sanding this is averted. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 An incredible amount of quality work there Jeroen. How much of the and cockpit did you need to sand back for things to fit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the and cockpit did you need to sand back for things to fit? Almost nothing. Took a bit from the outside of the wheelbays. Had to thin some plastic in order to get the resin bulkhead to fit nicely though 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 27 Author Administrators Share Posted September 27 Finally!!! from the start i knew i wanted to make Ron Pottinger’s mount. He downed a few v1’s after he climbed up from infantry to the ranks of RAF pilot. He was shot down over Germany at the end of the war and taken POW. Grew to be very old, wrote a book and i have his signed photo. I knew i had seen a photo of his plane at Volkel (the Netherlands) somewhere. Searched for months. Then found it in a book i have on loan from Cees! Had it on my desk all this time. Goes to show Google isnt always your best friend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
