Hello all!

Here goes some pics of my atempt on the Eduard 1/48 kit of this gorgeous bird.

Hello all!

Here are some more pics of the cockpit already finished...











Regards!

Hola José!

nice cockpit you have there!

But the seat belts look wrong. IMO they have to run below the head rest. Unfortunatly I have no reference at hand to check how it has to be ....maybe have a look for pictures of the He 162 seat (which looks similar)

here is an example 8which looks like it is rebuild .. )



cheers

Looks good. I agree that this really is a gorgeous bird.

What markings and colour scheme are you going to do?

Looking forward to see more.

There is not much choice as this bird was not operational .. so it is RLM 02 .... or "what if"

cheers

Steffen

Shouldn't that be CHAIRS?

I really like the kits Eduard is putting out these days. But as you have shown, it takes a gifted builder to make the kit sing. Fantastic build so far.

Thanks guys!

The seat belts are already fixed. As soon as i have some pics i´ll post them!

Thanks Again!

Hello !!!

After a long hiatus here are some progress shots of the basic shape, plus a couple of self inflicted pain (wing roots).

Shoot at will!













Best regards!

Looks good so far.

Looking forward to see more

So, What Model brand and scale is it (If you don't mind my asking)?

Hello and thanks for the feedback!





The kit is from eduard and at 1/48.

best regards.

It is really coming along nicely. This is really a slick lookin jet.

Here´s some pics of it, after first stages of painting, that were shadowed by self-inflicted problems. I used an old tintlet of humbrol paint, and it seems that the composition as altered a bit, cause the pain some times acquires strange effects when drying...

the pics:

Nice job what you are doing! I would like to get that model in 1:72 scale. Keep posting more pics, thanks.

Hi Jose
its shaping up nicely, can't wait to see the camo.



Carlos,
Its available in scale 1/72nd by Huma, if they are still around.


Cheers
Peter

Looks good, Jose. You are getting there slowly, but surely It will be a unique bird when you finish it.

Looking forward to see more

Hello!


Some more progress on tthis slow build!

I´ve made some arrangments on the front gear leg, and decided to test my new airbrush on wethering the airframe, so, it is a bit more diry than a prototype normally looks...
Pics:













Best regards!

Hi Jose
love it.
It's really coming alive now.

Can't help wonder what it might have looked like if it had gone in to full production complete with camo.

Many thanks, keep the pics coming please Jose.

Cheers
Peter
