1/32 P.1101 at Oberammergau / Build review

[JeroenPeters]

Hi all,

This is the review sample provided by Das Werk that I will be building as the 80% complete mockup at the Messerschmitt factory at Oberammergau. In my review I will elaborate thoroughly on the subject. In this build I will try to replicate the mockup as close as possible. 

I will be using the FPW 3D printed HeS 011 engine and the 1Manarmy mask set that was developed for this kit. 

First order of business: The wings. As you may know, the wings on the mockup were taken from a Me262, that was also built at Oberammergau. These wings were altered at the wingtips, shortened and the slats were altered. On the mockup that was found, there were three underwing panels missing on each wing. These areas are closed on the Das Werk kit, but nonetheless visible, since they show them in bare duralumin and provide factory stamps for them. A nice touch. I will however open up the panels and 3D print the internal details.

There's no way back now!

There are several pics that show some internal detail.

Here's one while under restoration in the US.

I liked this kit so much, I bought a second one.

This is how i’ll design in 3D the wing inserts. I’ll use as much reference data as i can find.

Wow, the Whirlwind is barely into the display cabinet and you're onto the next masterpiece.

One down. Two to go.

It's like you can design these things in CAD faster than I can glue a couple parts together. 

Simply amazing.
