Eduard interior set

Eduard exterior set

Eduard wheels

Eduard exhausts

DN Models mask set

Will follow with interest. I have the same kit in stash along with the AM and cracked the box open several times. Maybe your build is a go for mine too.

Thnx guys! Added more photo etch to the pit. The HK seat lacks 4 small reinforcements at the underside of the armrests so i added them from small strips and sanded them into shape.

If you add the bomb to the internal bomb bay the detail is sufficient. But when you leave it out you’ll need to spice it up. Here are the first of some added details.

also found a long thin spring to make the hose that is connected to the control stick.

the do335a instrument panel has a few instruments more than the b version. So today i swapped my b version from eduard for the Yahu instrument panel.

Since this kit isnt out on the market yet i have to make do with a test shot sprue that has many flaws. Short shot parts. The rear seat had a large hole in the back of the seat and the leg rests where half gone. I cut out the entire back and made a new one from green card. The leg rests were made from 0.3 mm rod.

Thnx!

the rudder pedal had to be re-done. There is only one known photo of the rear cockpit. I made a new floorplate and used spare PE and plastic to make something more realistic 699FB8FE-3EC4-47DE-86D8-E1B220E5008C.jpegB3541862-CF6E-46A4-93DC-2AE54E0DBC3B.jpeg

Somehow I completely missed that you were building the two seater.  I thought for some reason this was the night fighter variant. 

Anyways, nice job on fixing the moulding defects.

I have the night fighter kit as well. Have built the B version before and am now building a test shot of the trainer sprue in combination with the A version.

Gotta love that surface detail...

since i’m using the Yahu instrument panel for the front pit, i cut out the center section of the eduard panel for the trainer pit.

Some work on the MG151’s. Replaced the ammo feeds, added electric cables and made the loading handles from thin copper rod.F4CBC532-55C1-4DA2-B12C-714436D7242A.jpeg

That's a fascinating build and subject I'll follow with interest. As shame it seems the front row seats have all been taken by now ;)

Working on the ip now. Took some work to make the yahu panel fit the kit parts. Make the instrument housings from rod. Removed the moulded wiring and made my own.
