Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 28 Author Administrators Posted February 28 Just recieved these AK paint markers. Should be handy for details. And reprinted the engine at 98% size which makes fit the Hasegawa fuse better. 7

KevinM Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Different skill set all together what you do Jeroen looking good. 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 1 Author Administrators Posted March 1 Started cutting resin on the Aires cockpit for the ju-87D. Warped like a banana. But nothing some boiling water won’t fix. With 2 stuka’s on the go and the 262, the bench will get worse. 8
GusMac Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Still looks pretty organised. Definitely seen worse, yes Carl that's you I'm thinking about! 😁 5

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 4 Author Administrators Posted March 4 So... managed to score this oxygen instrument - panel from the left side of the cockpit wall. Still has most of its RLM66 paint. I might have both instruments in my stash. Need to check. This will go perfect with this build. Not sure on how I'll mount it, but I'll figure something out. 6

More fantastick relics🤯 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 6 Author Administrators Posted March 6 Since i have few to no knowledge on the Stuka at all, i have work to do. LSP member Antonio Argudo shared his dropbox with me (very useful) and I’m accumulating books. Just got this one in the mail. There is so much non standard on this plane, it feels like i’m really starting everything from scratch. 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 7 Author Administrators Posted March 7 just for fun. Two stray cats looking at the playing kids. Took some 3D modelling to get them to my liking. 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8 Author Administrators Posted March 8 I was not happy with the seats. Not in the Aires set, Hasegawa nor Trumpeter. Just too thick. Undersized. and incorrect shape. I found some good images of a relic seat online, including measurements. Threw these in AI 3D software and tweaked a little. 8
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 8 Author Administrators Posted March 8 Fresh from the printer The seat thickness is real to scale so… paper thin and fragile. 9
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 9 Author Administrators Posted March 9 Perfect. Original oxygen panel. Might have to change the pressluft gauge, but will have to look for a proper dial. For now this is fine. 7
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Friday at 08:26 PM Author Administrators Posted Friday at 08:26 PM Gotta have the Yahu ip’s. Luckily my local hobby store had 2 in stock 5
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Saturday at 11:25 AM Author Administrators Posted Saturday at 11:25 AM Turning my attention to to the prop blades. These are the VS111 as used on most late Ju-87D's and later models. They were all wood and are a variation on the VS11 that were also used on the Ju-87D. Blade length is approximately 1480mm and diameter of the prop-circle was about 3260mm. I'm writing this mostly as a note to self It's difficult to get decent profiles, but I think this looks ok. Both the Hasegawa prop and Trumpeter's are of incorrect shape. The more I dig in the Trumpeter kit, that at first sight appears to be more detailed, the more I like the Hasegawa kit. The Trump kit has way to simplified detail and shape guessed interior and engine. Using decals on the prop blades is more correct than spraying them. You might want to deliberately achieve to silvering These VS111 blades were fixed and not variable. Only thing I need to find is the exact angle they stood. And I need to draw the wave shaped metal protection strip at the leading edge. 3

HubertB Posted Saturday at 05:37 PM Posted Saturday at 05:37 PM I’d have sworn the 1:1 blades had more « twist » from root to tip than you design shows … But then, I am anything but a VS prop specialist … Hubert 1

Just added it (which was easier than i feared) and printing now 2
Administrators JayDee Posted Saturday at 06:57 PM Administrators Posted Saturday at 06:57 PM Lovely blades! Jeroen, hi. 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Saturday at 07:49 PM Author Administrators Posted Saturday at 07:49 PM Managed to trade my pressluft gauge for the proper sauerstoff one. Now its perfect. I’m 3d designing a ficture for it to attach it to the model base. And i meed to Paint the screws black. 4

Cool stuff right? Expensive, but they keep their value. Just takes a long time finding pieces. Especially if you want a good price. 2
