I´m just begining with this proyects. Apart from the kit I´m going to use the resin engine from aires, resin cockpit from aires, detail from cmk and eduard photo,

Well, I began with the cockpit. First I painted all the pieces in RLM 66,



And I put the prints in the instruments panels of photo,

Daniel,

Looks good so far, and it seems you will have a lot to do! I have not built this kit so it will be fun to see what you do with it.

Daniel:

Looks like an ambitious project to say the least. Looking good so far. I can't wait to see more.

Thanks Derek and Taylor for yours comments

Continuing with the cockpit I began painting the seat and ensambling the cockpit,

Well, I finished with the cockpit, somo photos,

















The next step will be the engines

Excellent work Daniel. Lovely cockpit.
One little nitpick though (and probably the instructions fault), I think you will find the main instrument panel sits further back on the canopy ring and not on top of the side consoles .
Looking forward to seeing the engines built up and painted.
Are there any fit issues with the kit so far?
Keep up the good work.
Andy

Hi Andy, thanks for your comments. And yes, you are correct, I´m going to chance the position of the main panel. I verified this in the Aero Detail book

Looking good Daniel, wiring is a must when building this aircraft.

I have the Aires cockpit set but I'm still looking for the kit

Beautiful- just beautiful. All that resin! Your brushwork is admirable in all those details- cheers!

Thanks all of you for your comments :thumbsup:

Well, continuing with the proyect I began with the engines,

First I cut all the resin pieces,



painted the panels,



and when it was dry I paint it with silver,

Then I continued with the engine putting the littles pieces of resin on it,

After painted this pieces I began with the wiring oh the engines, lot of patient for it

Now I´m begining with the gear bay. I used some photoetched on it,

Continuing with the gear bay, no I prepare and put the PE in it,

Now I´m going to begin with the cameras place. In general the Arado 234 B series didnt have cameras but there were some first models of this series with cameras. I´m going to use the CMK resin piece for this,
First I took out the kit piece of plastic so I can put the resin one.

Finished with this I put the resin piecen in it´s places,

Here you can see some shot of the cameras itself. They are very detail. This pieces are from the kit,

Finishing with the cameras,

Good, now I am going to show you the armed of the fuel tanks. The Arado 234 had 2 fuel tanks in the fuselage, one in the front part and another one behind the wings. The front tank had a capacity of 1800Lts, and the one of back a capacity of 2000 Lts. This gave the airplane an autonomy of 1700 km, loaded with an armament of 500Kg. Some photos. The pieces are from CMK,

No I´m going with the cockpit glass. The kit has 4 pieces for it. The joint is very good, also with the aires accesories,

Wow, very impressive cockpit interior! Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks a lot Alex for your comments

Once I finished with the cockpit glass I began with the mask of it. In this case I tried the Mr. Masking sol. It´s easiest to use than the maskol because it come with a brush inside. It´s a little more dense,
