This is a Luft 46 project. It´s a resin model of ARBA. A very good quality kit. The ARBA kits doesn´t come with decals so you need to by them or use what you have from others models. As it´s a luft 46 project you can play more with colors and decals.
This is what include the kit,

I´m going to begin with the cockpit. This come in the same resin piece of the engine,

Hola Daniel

shouldn't you rather build on your He 177

I am not a big fan of Luftwaffe 46 .. quite the contrary. But I will follow your work nonetheless.

best wishes

Steffen

Hi Daniel

It looks really interesting - can you write us a review when you've finished?

All the best

Rowan

Hi Steffen,

Yes, I´m continuing with the 177, this is a simple project that I have and I´d like to make.

Hi Rowan,

Thanks for your comments, and yes, I had thought on make a review

Oooooh
a Luft 46er.

I knew I could rely on you Daniel.
Looking forward to see this take shape, and the following review.

Best regards
Peter

Thanks a lot Peter

Well, continuing with the model I put some putty in the join of the engine and intake piece,

When I had sand it I painted the cockpit with RLM 66,

Then I continued with the fuselaje, first I put the tailfin on it, the join is veru good,

I then assembled the engine and cockpit, it come with the same piece,

When I had sanded all the model I gave a first hand with Mr. Resin from Mr. Hobby,

Looks like a fun distraction from your big He-177. I have to take breaks from big projects too - I get burned out working on one thing for too long.

actually, I have about 20 models in my office that are in various stages of completion, and I am always starting more... I guess my attention deficit "disorder" applies to my hobbies as well! I just can't work for too long on a single project without gettting distracted.

Anyway, Daniel, In the pics, the model looks small, but it seems like it must be fairly sizable if it is 1/48 scale (must be a fair chunk of resin there!). Can you show us a picture with something included in the shot to give us a sense of scale?

Hi Vance,

I agree 100% with you. Sometimes you have to make another model not to get boring.
I´m going to take a picture with another model so you can compare the size, but it´s not a big one

Once the prime was dry I put the cockpit glass and masked it with tamiya tape and maskol,

After this, with an airbrush, I made the panels lines with black. You don´t need to be very carefull in this phase, don´t worry if the lines aren´t perfect,

When I finshed with the panles lines I painted it with RLM 76,

When it was completly dry I began with the camu. As it´s a Luft 46, this let you play more with colours and types of camu. I choosed for something different. For this I used a sponge ( or you call it puff, Im´not sure). Some photos of it,

Once I painted it with clear cote and waited after it was completly dry I began with the decals. The kit doesn´t come with decals so I used some from others kits,

Well, I finished the model. Here some pics of it, any comments are welcome

Hi Daniel

looks nice. I personally think the dirt at the fuel fillers is too much. Hope you will do some additional dirt on the crosses.

I like the "aim here" arrows ...still not a fan of Lw 46

cheers

Steffen

Here a photo with a well know aircraft so you can have an ida of its size,

Thank a lot Daniel to build something so original.

I have the same to build (but when ? ) and your topic will be certainly helpfull to make something correct

Very nice !!!
