Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 16, 2014 Administrators Posted November 16, 2014 Hi guys, It was not the Ho229 that pulled me away from my He219. Not the Airfix Typhoon. It is the Ar 234! What a lovely kit. I started adding the resin instrument housings to the back of the instrument panel and just couldn't stop. The only thing I'll add are HGW seat belts. I believe 109 harnesses will be correct. 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 16, 2014 Author Administrators Posted November 16, 2014 Man, you move quickly. Cees Cheers By the way. I've been having the same photo bucket problems you've been experiencing. On one of my laptops it didn't actually copy the link in photo bucket. I believe this to be a Flash problem. Tried it on a different computer and it worked. I'm trying to see how to fix this. I'll keep u posted.
Administrators James H Posted November 16, 2014 Administrators Posted November 16, 2014 WTF? S L O W D O W N ! ! ! Looks like I'm going to have to crank things up here. Great work so far. The resin in these kits is excellent. 1
Administrators Fran Posted November 16, 2014 Administrators Posted November 16, 2014 Buying mine tomorrow!!! Can't wait! Keep it coming Jeroen!
wackyracer Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Stop Jeroen. I can't keep up! Great start btw. My resistance is weakening for one of these.
RalphSarc Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Really looking forward to watching this build!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 16, 2014 Author Administrators Posted November 16, 2014 Thnx guys, Speeding along through the pit. This is limited run so you'll need to fit, check and fit again. Something didn't fit in mine and it took me a while to figure out what it was. Turned out the pedals (photo etch) are a bit too wide. Or over-tight fit. The kit also supplies plastic pedals (and the model on the Telford stand featured those) but I'll go through the spares box and look for other ones'. No problem. Other than that everything seems to fit just fine. 6
Layton Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Interesting!! Looking forward to watching this build!

Alan Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 We want more .... We want more!!!! Hurry up bro!!! Looking great so far!! Cheers Alan
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 17, 2014 Author Administrators Posted November 17, 2014 Ok Ok! Care needs be taken in and around the pit. No locating marks, so keep test fitting. The instructions tell you to place a clear part in a hole in the chin of the pit (in the pit floor). I fitted this part, but then checked references. The bomb camera needs to protrude through this hole. So I took the clear part out again and let the camera protrude. See reference pic too. Next step is to add lots of details and wires / hoses as per reference. 3
Administrators James H Posted November 17, 2014 Administrators Posted November 17, 2014 Slow down dammit! I can't catch up! Great work, and nice catch on that camera. Doesn't the face need to be more bevelled too?
Administrators Fran Posted November 18, 2014 Administrators Posted November 18, 2014 You`re going fast JP!!!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 18, 2014 Author Administrators Posted November 18, 2014 Fitting the canopy. Fit seems OK. Wings dry fitted. Next up: wheel bay. 2
wackyracer Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Lovely work. Looking forward to receiving my kit now. 1
eagledocf15 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Well done - and you are definitely a speed builder! Bravo and Excellent work
Administrators Fran Posted November 19, 2014 Administrators Posted November 19, 2014 That`s a beautiful plane!!! Lovely really!! Great work Jeroen!! You are on fire!!!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 19, 2014 Author Administrators Posted November 19, 2014 I don't know when I suddenly became a speed builder, but I'm certainly enjoying this kit. Today I bought some generic HGW Luftwaffe seat belts. I plan to open the cockpit which means these will be VERY visible. 2
JaseGill Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Just ordered the B-2/B-2N off the back of your build so far Jeroen. Tempted by the Natter and the Rotachute too but held off, just Cant wait now Looks great. J.
Administrators Fran Posted November 21, 2014 Administrators Posted November 21, 2014 HGW seatbelts are simply fantastic!!
