Hi all!

At last the Siebel is finished...



A bit late, but better late than never! You can't imagine how happy I am to have finally finished this project.

Jean-Luc

That does look fantastic as always Jean-Luc

Seriously impressive build mate.

Howard

That is outstanding, Jean-Luc (as always)!

I love the use of the curtains as well. how were they done?

I'm still working on finishing mine up...

Hi Howard and Vance,

Thanks for your kind words...

I did the curtains with Tamiya Epoxy Putty. I made them bigger than the windows and fixed them inside the fuselage with tape (like the windows). I painted them black and drybrushed them with light grey.





Jean-Luc

Excellent result, Jean-Luc. Another piece of stunning work from you.

Thanks for sharing

It's finally finished!!!!



I will get some better pictures later in the week!

Howard

Whooohoo you got it done .. looks good, Howard!

The flap looks a bit much lowered from this angle, but as long as all are the same angle it should be o.k.

Hope to see more pictures soon .. later the week is a bit vague

cheers

Steffen

Hi Howard!

Nice teaser!

I can't wait to get my hands on the pictures to work on the feature...

Jean-Luc

Thanks guys

There are others I took but it was late last night and a bit dark to get proper pictures. I hope to re-take some tonight or tomorrow night if I can.

Heres a lower side pic:

Hi Howard

thanks for the additional picture, but i was just kidding

nice model, would have preferred another Hs 293 variant thats all I would nit pick.

Whats next on the list?

cheers

Steffen

Hi Steffen, I know what you mean on the HS293. Another version would have been ideal but I couldn't do much about it this time sadly

Well on the bench at the moment is the Revell BF-110 G which is having some major filler work done to it. Last night after finishing the Dornier I got started on the Tamiya Mosquito NFII which looks like a far easier project than the Dornier was

Howard

Thank you Howard

.. nice projects .. I think I will also start a Mossie this year (when Revells first model is released) .. 3 versions are tooled (done, but not finalized yet)

knowing you will not take this as an insult I like to correct you on writing German WW2 designation

RLM issued following guideline (in short I have already written a longish post on this in the past) :

aircraft manufacturer 2 letters, first letter capital 2nd letter small

space (optional)

number: issued by RLM .. first there were blocks for manufacturers which was later broken up sometimes. Some were issued twice (Bf 163/Me 163)

space (optional)

version: capital letter

hyphen

subvariant: cyphre

(I omit Rüstsätze and Umbausätze as well as engine designators e.g. Me 262 A-1a (=Jumo 004))

so you get

Bf 110G-2

(The Bf /Me depending on the year of the construction of the airframe Messerschmitt likes to write Me since the renaming of the company, but RLM issued an order to reject every letter with the wrong desingation. So there was never a Me 109 officially)

lesson out

cheers

Steffen
