Started work on the wings. Selected a piece of copper pipe with the right diameter to make the wing spar which travelled in it's own jig, separately.

Some more progress. Fuselage is perfectly smooth now and panel lines restored that got lost with sanding.

With the tail on, the Reichenberg is slightly longer than the flatbed, but luckily the rudder passes over the rear of the flatbed.

Adding PE to the fuse body and getting ready to install the engine and tail planes.

Wow looking really great. Love the tailpipe detail. After using the resin conversion kit for the Ju88 I'm not ready for a complete resin kit assembly! Need a bit more scary experiences with resin first, lol!!

Hehehe,

I use Future to glue the parts and when I'm satisfied i use some extra thin CA to secure the part (and not my hand).

Here's some more PE to the fuse:

Progress! With the Do335 almost finished, I decided to throw some paint on the V1.

 

Chipping medium all over. RLM 76, RLM 82, RLM 83.

I just bought some Vallejo Chipping Medium and a Vallejo Pigment Set so looking forward to trying the process! Really like the scheme you're following!

Hi Ralph,

 

I've used the AK brand chipping medium, but somehow i keep going back to cheap hairspray. Just works better for me...

Here's what I did to the RLM 83 wings. Sprayed Alclad. Let it dry for a day. Hairspray sprayed directly in my airbrush cup. Then from the cup through the airbrush onto the model. Let it dry for 5 minutes. Then Mr Hobby RLM 83 in thin layer. Let it dry for 10 minutes. Et voila!

Is your chipping brush dry Jeroen?

Hi Paul.

I first wet the area that i want to chip and let the water do it's work.

The brush therefor doesn't need to be soaking wet.

 

Cheers,

Jeroen
