DocRob Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Nice detail work Jeroen and great looking wheel wells. I have to second harv, these hinges look absolutely fiddly. I wish you luck to get them assembled to the fuselage without probs. Cheers Rob 3
Bomber_County Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 I never realised how big the 335 was, your work is so precise unlike my ham fisted attempts.......... 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 29, 2020 Author Administrators Posted October 29, 2020 Thnx guys! Just fitted the Mk103 cannon and Mg151 guns. Perfect. I will display this plane with 2 Genuine Mg151 rounds And one mk103 30mm round. Hard to come by, but i found them! 11
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 1, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 1, 2020 Dryfitted the wings on. Perfect. 10
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 2, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 2, 2020 So the four mg151 20mm rounds arrived. The four belt links that fit them are on their way. The mk103 round I’m still looking for and seems hard to find... in the photo you also see a 20mm flak round, a 30mm mk108 round and a mg151 20mm round. 7
Jeff Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those ! Where did you manage to find those? It is going to be an awesome display.... 1
Bomber_County Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Presumably they are defused etc...............going to awesome...... 1 1

Yup! All inert. Finally managed to find a complete mk103 round. These things are very very hard to find. Found one at a militaria dealer in Germany. Where else?? Costed a few pennies but worth it because i’ve seen them go for way more. The price on mine was 100€ in case you’re wondering. At the same time also bought a few complete MG FF rounds. First paint on the gear legs and doors with a little modulation. 7
Bomber_County Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 In my opinion that’s a good price for a chunk of history, I hope you live somewhere big with all of these stunning vignettes you do..... 5

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 5, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 5, 2020 More paint on the gear 9
Wingco57 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 What did you use for the oleos Jeroen? Alclad? 2

I used the excellent mr hobby chrome. Also did some work on the wheelhubs. Some reference show them to be black. Some rlm02. 6
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 9, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 9, 2020 some more paint on the wheels, gear doors and props. 9
Rowdy Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Great effect on the wheels Jeroen, good choice regarding the rims as well! Best way to leave it like this, some pics show indeed the almost overall black color.. have that same issue with the He219 wheels... still reading about that and still no clue on what to deside so far, but I will save the pics of your wheels for reference!! 4
BlrwestSiR Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Jeroen, the wheels look great. I like seeing how folks tackle the same thing but in different ways. I usually paint the tire first and then the hub so seeing you do the opposite is nice. 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 10, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 10, 2020 Started masking the front canopy. I might scratch the inside tubular frame from very thin rod. 8
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 11, 2020 Author Administrators Posted November 11, 2020 Finally managed to source a complete mk103 round. In this pic: Mg FF / Mg 151 / mk108 / mk103 5 1
GusMac Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 That Mk 103 round is a serious piece of ordnance! Certainly gonna spoil your day. 3
