[scottie3158]

Thats a bummer mate, but I have to agree with Chris. Don't shelve a great build carry on, you know you want to :smiling3:

 

[AlanG]

I'll see how i feel next weekend (my weekend off). Might have calmed down by then

Besides. The wurger box is out of the stash now. Would be crazy of my to put it back now and miss out on my Fw190 fix lol

 

[boatman]

chris

 

[AlanG]

Yep no problem Chris. I'll do that

 

[Defiant911]

I shall watch your progress Alan.
interstingly it looks like the undercarriage areas are part of the wing on your model where as mine were part of the wing supports from which to fix the wings. the wings have quite a curve upwards so i had to g-clamp the under wings over night to make sure the glue cured properly.
unfortunately, the wing fitment started going bad from here on in.
on a plus not the Eduard masking for the glass is an absolute god send And fitted almost perfect to every glass panel.

 

[AlanG]

Have come to a stop on my Fw190 build due to me losing my painting masks for the national & number markings. No idea where they've gone. Will have to make up a new set.

Anyway in the meantime i've dragged this off the shelf of doom to try and get it somewhere nearer finished. @boatman Told you i'd re-start it at some point lol

I've now re-attached the wing that broke off and have filler drying on them both. Almost forgot just how bad a fit they were (the whole kit really). The grand canyon would be proud of the depth. Also added the tailplane.

She's a really big bird.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Carry on sir:thumb2:

 

[scottie3158]

I'm in.

 

[AlanG]

A little dry fit of the V-1

 

[Jim R]

Hi Alan
A blast from the past. Good to see it back on the bench but it is certainly a poor kit. Big but poor.
Jim

 

[AlanG]

Certainly is poor Jim. If ICM had done a H22 then i would have bought that one in a heartbeat. But the (very) old Revell one is the only game in town.

 

[Steven000]

Great to see this project back on the bench Alan, looking good :thumb2:
Cheers, Steven

 

[AlanG]

Cockpit installed. Part 1 of canopy dry fitted. Not going to see much inside when fitted me thinks.

 

[Mini Me]

There's an awful lot of glass on these 111's Alan......I wouldn't be surprised if you see a considerable amount of the "office" once you get the tape removed, that is. :thumb2: Cheers, Rick H.

 

[AlanG]

Yeah probably Rick. But given my eyesight.... maybe not lol

 

[Tim Marlow]

Building up nicely Alan. Glasshouse is so iconic on these birds and yours is coming along really well.

 

[AlanG]

At last. A little bit of colour put down. V-1 painted in RLM 71. The RLM 76 will be added soon

 

[AlanG]

RLM 76 (lower) added. Slight bit of overspray and demarcation line to clean up but some of that will be hidden when i add the 'squiggles' to the top of it.
