    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    Doesn't look much but i've added a couple of wires i missed and also forgot to split them into their respective groups. Also added the first batch of cable ties. These are made out of 0.2mm lead wire rolled flat. Will have to repaint everything later but it's getting there now. Not much more to...

    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    First coat of yellow painted onto the cables up to the electrical bracket. Will need another coat later. The rest of the cables will be painted once i add some cable ties in place. Pneumatic pipes are painted in dull aluminium and the connectors in magnesium. Just to give some sort of contrast...

    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    An unused bit of PE 'sprue' to make an electrical bracket. Some 0.2mm wire and SO much patience. And it starts to come together. I sometimes wonder why i let my OCD take over when it comes to building models. It would be so much easier OOB.

    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    Actually i wasn't pleased with it. I think the t-joints look to big and fat. So after a hunt around in my old cable draw, i found some smaller flex to make them out of. And here are the results. First pic is of the two joints side by side. As you can see the white one is a lot smaller. Second is...

    Little more scratch building tonight. Taken a night off from the engine whilst i figure something out. So back onto the rear of the instrument panel. The pneumatic pipes that will come from the accumulator that i built go into three different instruments at the back. So i have made three...

    Pastel and pencil

    Cheers Rick The nightfighter scene is taken from the Dragon Ju88 G6 box art. I really liked it and wanted to do my version of it

    Pastel and pencil

    @spanner570 and @Gavalaar1980 have posted their art and i have to say it's inspirational. I too like to dabble a little in the art side of things. I tend to stick to pastels and pencils though. I can't get to grips with paints (oils, acrylics or watercolours). But i really do love pastels. They...

    Hardening Blu-tac

    I am trying to think of a work around for something i need to scratch build for my Me262. The only viable way of 'designing' the item i want is to mold it in blu-tac. Once i have the shape do you think it could seal/harden it by giving it a coat of superglue? Would that make it hold it's shape?

    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    After a bit of back and forth with this. I have finally got it glued. The original ones didn't work out as i had already glued the housing together. So when i tried to remove them for further work, they split apart. Also tried Tamiya glue as i thought it would weld the plastic but it didn't. So...

    So scratch building again. On the engine in-between each of the combustion chambers is a divider. So rather than cutting up some plastic card i have, i decided to use an old empty milk bottle. It was only going in the recycling anyway, so it's nicely repurposed. Once they are all in place and...

    1/32 Me262A-1a/U4 (JV44 Hunters and Protectors Project)

    So why the mathematics? Well i had to work out what size the six combustion chambers of the Jumo 004 would have to be to fit inside the Revell depiction of the engine so that you could 'see' two chambers in each hole i drilled out. Took a bit to work out and to try and find something that i had...
