That is a very impressive looking HE 177, Daniel. The flying bombs are small models in themselves. The masks seems to have been holding tight.

Looking forward to see more.

Looks good Daniel.
You should lightly highlight some of the top areas and then fisnish it up with post shading.

Very nice Daniel!!

THOUGH ... do not read further if you are happy!

the u/c legs have a totally wrong angle:




i think you should rework this, because it really impacts the look of the whole thing!

don't shoot the messenger!

cheers

Hi Steffen,

Yes, you are correct. The kit legs were terrific, I tried to get the better way but the large of then are incorrect, also the angle of the hole because they touch each other and there is no place to put then near each one to get a less angle.

In general it was a good kit. As all mpm kits you need a litle work to joint the pieces.

No, sorry, I put that word thinking in spanish What I want to say is that the legs were very bad and difficult to work. Sorry for the mistake

Hi Daniel

I am by far not the right person to point at others (making many stupid errors every day) .. I was just curious what you wanted to express!

cheers

Steffen
