GusMac Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That looks ridiculous. Are you soldering them? There doesn't seem to be much of an attachment point for glueing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks Jeroen. Do you use the brush on version or just small spots from the standard applicator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi Gus, i use fine solder wire to apply the glue. When it builds up too mich at the end, i cut it off. here’s the finishes nose turret. Only needs the doors, but i’ll install them at the end. I’m posing the nose turret in a 90 degree angle so the doors will point outside the fuselage. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Very nice, but don't forget to fit the turrets before you close the fuselage, otherwise well you get my drift..... Cees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 14, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted May 14, 2018 Started work on the props and spinners. Please note that the proper spinners and rotol prop for the mkX version are not included in this kit. This means broadening the props with Evergreen strips. I added putty and mr Surfacer and am smoothing them out now. The spinners i fashioned from 32nd scale Luftwaffe bombs. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 23, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2018 After a long search I found a 1944 aerial RAF recon photo of Wilnis. Bought it for 50€ and is worh every pixel. 6000x6000 pixels in size. Taken a little over a year after the crash. this photo will be printed onto wood and form the base. The crash site (now marked in red) will be marked by a silver pin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Wow, that's a real find Jeroen. Great image. People sometimes are shocked by what was possible 'pre-digital' but those photo-recon cameras were the best around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine. The detail is amazing. Just ordered a 40x60cm print of this photo on aluminium. I will have this aluminium plate mounted on a thick wooden base. The location of the crash will be marked by a silver pin. The model will be placed on top. Along with the cowling engine flap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelscarborough Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just catching up here.....Bravo to you for persevering and finding the print, JP. What a connection to the reality of what happened it makes. I love what you've done with the prop blades. Cheers from NYC, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
