Very nice Daniel !
Really like nº13, which kit it is ? (brand / scale)

Whao Daniel!

Some weird and wonderful model collection you got there, thanks for sharing. Nice detail highlighting on the cockpit, excellent stuff.

Mike

Hi John,

I´m glad you like the models.

Red 13 is a 1/48 Antares Model Messerschmitt Me-262 HG II. It´s a convertion kit. I used it with the Tamiya kit.

Thanks for your comments Mike

The wheels , wheel bay doors, guns were added yesterday and finished the canopy this morning.
I will add a little wash and that's it ! Finished pics in the next few days.

Looking forward to see it finished, John.

Very nice models, Daniel. I especially like the camouflage on "Red 13". What kit is the triebvogel? I am making the Huma kit of this bird for this campaign.

Hello All . I had a lot of possibilities to chose from in my stash, but I'm a little pressed for time these days, and went the simple route. I pulled this from the stash:

And, as you can see, it has the benefit of being simple...if you call flashy, thick plastic parts simple...

I think I spent more time cleaning up the pieces than I did in construction, and the paint scheme was fairly quick as well. The kit decals were toast, so, my spares box provided them. Here is the completed project:


I thought I would throw in this as well. A friend gave it to me as a joke, and asked me to identify it, if I could. Take a look at the pics - do you know what it is??



It stumped me, and my friend finally gave in and told me.
He had been working on Revell's SR-71 kit, which comes with a "drone" which he wasn't using. He knows I do mostly WWII stuff, so he decided to do the drone up as a German "secret weapon", scratch a trolly for it, and give it to me. Pretty clever, actually.

Well, that's it for me, although I am still hoping I can find some time later in the Campaign to do another kit. Luftwaffe '46 stuff is really a fun topic. I hate it when "real life" interfers with my modeling .

Cheers all,
Mike

Well done Mike.

You've pipped everyone to the winning post, and in one forum post too!

Great choice with the Horten flying wing. It's probably my favourite Luft 46 subject so it's great to have it in this campaign.

Congratulations,

Mike.

A very nice model Mike

After I finished with the cockpit I put the sides panel piece and sand it,

Una vez terminada la cabina le coloque y masilla la parte lateral de la misma donde despues ira la carlinga,

Then I continued with the landing gear. I´m going to add some details on it begining with the shock absorber. I´m going to use hypodermic needle ( I´m not sure if you call like this), if not with the photos you are going to undesrtand what I mean

That is some awesome work, Daniel. I look at what I did and think, " boy, I could really dress this simple kit up, do some scratch building, make it way better than an OOB build." And there is only one thing I would need that I don't have - your talent.

Great stuff, sir. One day I hope to progress to the level where I can do work like that. Keep it up, I am enjoying learning from your build.


Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for all your words, I really appreciate your comments

Great Daniel. I can't really decide what I think about the plane, but I do think your work is great. Looking forward to the next step.

Tony

Good job on the Horten, Mike. A nice entry into the campaign.

Nice trick with the needle, Daniel. The running gear looks really good. Nothing looks as good as polished steel - like polished steel.

Hi Mike

Thanks for you comment. I understand what you mean about the plane. I think is an object that you like or not. In my case I like Luft 46, but if you see from an estrict point of view there not planes really, because they didn´t exist

Hi Jesper, I´m glad you like how its getting. I found the big needle in a veterinary. They use them on horses.

Now I´m going to put the engines,

And re-making some riveting after sanded it,

When I had finished with the differents parts I masked the landing gear holes and gave a first airbrush hand with Mr surface 1200,

Lightning fast progress Daniel!


Great idea using the syringe needle like that, can't wait to see it finished.

I've finally got round to opening the box to my Dragon Me 1101 kit. Even got as far as trying a dry fit of the main fuselage. What can I say except that I'm off to my LHS to buy more styrene sheets to fill those gaps.

All the best,

Mike.

I finally took some pics of the finnished plane.
But the camera ran out of batteries (great timing...,), 3 pics taken, 2 little blurry.







Posted the last one on the gallery, but since I might be running out of space I only posted one image.
If you need another 2 images on the gallery to consider a Campaign build let me know, i'll take another 2 pics .

Thanks !!

If I wasn't in so many Campaigns and with the real life messing with my Modeling, I would tackle another bird for this one

An excelent job John, it looks very nice

Looks very good, John. I guess the first two pictures were taken by a fast moving recon plane
Are you going to keep it politically correct by not adding swastikas to the tail?

Thanks for participating.

I used the decals provided for the kit Jesper, and there were no swastikas ... my decal stash is mostly 1:35 armour leftovers...

The only swastikas left are from an old Hasegawa 1:32 Me262 I think... too big for this one.
The crosses used on my Eastern front campaign a Su-85 with german markings has some of those decals.

I really enjoyed this build, thinkibg that a few years ago I was about to sell all my aircraft kits and turn over to the armour side..
