I started a new model.



Will be OOB only with Eduard PE seat belt and with the aid of the mask, also Eduard, to the windows of the cockpit.

I read one or two reviews, one of Brett Green. I looked at the sprues and in fact the pieces seemed perfect. The fittings were good. Anyway, basically had no defects.

After opening the box a disappointment.

For some magical art my kit is nothing of this. The fittings are in fact good, but the pieces came with excess plastic. Lines of the molds?? Well, until now had to clean almost all parts. The largest are not difficult. Now the smallest. It is difficult to catch them but having to clean them, is work.

A surprise on the sheet of decals. Bring the dials to the dashboard.

I did a test fit, fuselage and wings, and everything seems perfect.





I started to glue some parts.

After gluing more than 50 pieces (there are still many others) in the cockpit just decided to start painting it with RLM 66 (Tamiya XF-63).











The instrument panel. In my case the dials were on the sheet of decals.





The wells wheels. RLM 02 (XF-22 Tamiya)



Well after have given me a rivet maker and as I had glued the wings ...

The interior now with lights and shadows and a wash. After, a dry brush.















Continuation of the rivets. The vertical drift and rudder ready.

Lovely work so far Antonio. It would be difficult for me not to go crazy with that cockpit, OOB it looks very good as you work on it.

TY for sharing.

Hey Antonio, looking good so far. P/U this kit myself and was amazed when I opened up the box. Looks like you just pour the glue and paint in the box and lightly shake and out it will pop ready for flight. I'm not much into German stuff but I p/u a resin set for the old 110 (revell) from a fellow modeler here so I now have the makings of an airfield with shot up aircraft. A ways away from building it, but will keep checking your post to see how it goes together. A giant leap from the older kits they had.

Parts of the interior had already painted, ready. I painted the dials and levers.









It now remains to glue the boxes of ammunition for machine guns.

The riveting work will stop. Missing only the rivets in the fuselage that will just do as she is glued.









The cowling of the wheel wells have some problems. I think that should have glued before and did not follow the instructions.

A gap between the engine cowling with wings. I glued a band of plastic.





Carriages painted with RLM 02 (Tamiya XF-22) and wheels.







Lights and shadows. Wash with bitumen of Judea and dry brush.











I glued a few more pieces of the interior and are ready to paint. The pedals were a puzzle to paste.









More rivets.





Best regards

And I'll stop with the scale 1/32 and return to scale 1/48. My showcase get too small.

Interior ready. Now glue everything and close the fuselage.

Superb work, Antonio! Stunning paintwork in the cockpit. I will follow this thread to the end.
You just inspired me to build this kit some time in the near future

Wonderful work, Antonio.
So sad Tamiya XF-22 is too dark for RLM 02. I think Gunze H70 is much more accurate. If you can get it, you can still blow it through the wheel well holes without insisting too much, so that the previous, dark Tamiya colour would remain in the more hidden zones - sort of light & shadow result.
But in any case this is a very nice job so far.
Regards,
David
